Join the Nottingham Forager, Lucy Buckle, to learn more about foraging and give it a go to see what we can find growing in the Meadows!
After the huge interest shown at the Foraging stall at the Green Meadows Festival, Lucy Buckle ( The Nottingham Forager ) is coming back to Green Meadows to give some more Spring and Autumn Workshops.
You can read about her work in the Green Meadows Knowledge Bank and book to take part in either a classroom based workshop, a walking workshop out in the Meadows or come on both!
