Wild Food in Summer

Come with me on a walking lunch to enjoy Summer plants and fungi on Corstorphine Hill, one of Edinburgh City's lovely green spaces.
About this Event

Explore with me summertime on Corstorphine Hill, one of Edinburgh's lovely green spaces. We will meet at the Walled Garden, take a gentle walk through August woods and meadows, look at the edible and toxic wild plants and fungi that are already emerging this time of year, discuss foraging laws, ethics, and safety, and taste the wild flavours we encounter in a variety of delicious and surprising foods and drinks. Our walk will be 3-4 hours long, go over muddy, uneven and steep terrain, and include a minimum of fifteen foraged food and drink samples. (please message me in advance about dietary requirements)
