1 Day Foraging Courses

What a fantastic experience and the trainers knowledge is second to none, foraging through the hedgerows and woods is so enthralling and learning what can and can’t be consumed is so satisfying. The tastes and use of all these plants is so intriguing and gives you a fresh outlook on what is available for free.

The other participants made the day all the more worthwhile.

The piece de resistance was the cooking of all you have foraged, as a chef for nearly 50 years I can say I have not tasted much better. Sign up for this course I can assure you you will not be disappointed.

A superbly organized day, from foraging to feasting, I highly recommend this course. It's so great to know how accessible foraging is, no matter where you live. My eyes have been opened to what to look out for, to respect 'weeds' and know that I can put them in my dinner, thank you Gary and Nicola for a truly brilliant day.

I cannot recommend this course enough. I was a little nervous about attending on my own and wondering what the day would be like as it was an unexpected gift. I had nothing to worry about. Gary and Nicola were so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable and there was a great community spirit amongst everyone there. The foraging was fascinating and I have learnt so much but the highlight has to be the woodland camp where we set about making our foraged food into a wonderful feast. The camp is absolutely magical and it was so wholesome cooking as a group. The food was absolutely delicious too! Thank you Jack Raven, I had the best time and will be back!

The setting is fantastic, with views across Kent to the coast on a clear day, and the lanes around are full of free food.

Garry and Nichola were brilliant hosts and led us on a gentle stroll through the local lane, discussing different plants, both edible and poisonous, and talking about the merits of each plant and how to pick and eat.

They both have a tremendous knowledge of the plants around and made the foraging both fun and very informative.

Once we reached the amazing camp in the woods Nichola guided us through suitable, and delicious, recipes for each plant gathered and we collectively set to and made up our plates, cooking on the open fire.

The dishes were really tasty and opened all our eyes to the possibilities of using what nature abundantly provides around us.

We came away after over 6 hours feeling very chilled and relaxed, full of enthusiasm for getting out and doing it again for ourselves.

I would recommend a foraging day with Garry and Nichola to anyone as a brilliant way to learn and enjoy yourselves.

Absolutely wonderful foraging course followed cooking and eating our foraged goods, the only downside is I now want to attend the basket making workshop so I can continue with aesthetically pleasing foraging trips at home
