Foraging & Herbal Medicine Courses in Newcastle Upon Tyne and Northumberland – Coming Soon for Spring 2026

Come along to a wild food walk and learn which plants you can and can’t eat, where to find them and how to prepare them.

My Newcastle and Northumberland foraging courses will equip you with the skills to:

• begin identifying wild plants yourself
• forage sustainably
• understand the risks and benefits of using plants for food and medicine
• prepare your own wild food and medicine at home

Hopefully going for a walk will never be the same again as your eyes are opened to the diversity of plant life that surrounds us everywhere we go.
