Learn to Forage in Chew Valley

A really interesting day, introducing me to foraging and giving me lots of inspiration for the future!

This course is great fun and we all learnt a lot about the flora and fauna around us. Lovely location and really interesting subject. Leah’s approach is calm and knowledgeable. Would definitely it again, plus others to learn more, and recommend to anyone with an interest in this area.

Lovely experience with good depth of knowledge to share

Leah was a great teacher, as she made it entertaining as well as informative. Had a really good day.

Really insightful, some great facts and recipe ideas. Leah was a fantastic host!

This was a gift for my brother in law and husband, they had a great time!

Leah created a really relaxed environment and her confidence was clearly based in lots of knowledge and experience of her subject matter. It was good fun with some "no-way!" facts to make you stand still. It took me to a useful next level where I will feel a more able to assess plants and fungi thanks to the advice and guidance which she provided in digestible chunks. One of the most enjoyable afternoons I have had for a long time!

Leah was a fantastic host with endless knowledge of foraging. I have learnt a lot and left with book recommendations to build on that new knowledge. Highly recommend the experience.

Nice variety of detail, science, nature, mindfulness. Host had group cohesion.

Leah is extremely knowledgeable and has a lovely, confident presence. The session was relaxed and massively informative - it felt like questions were more than welcome.

Absolutely loved this experience! Me and my mum went and learned so much, great first step into foraging and would highly recommend if you are thinking of it! Leah was so lovely and knowledgeable, will be booking more!

This was such a wonderful experience! Leah is so knowledgeable and really great at leading the class. Would recommend to everyone!!

Leah our guide was friendly and knowledgeable with a good sense of humour which worked perfectly with our intimate group. We all felt we could learn questions and got loads out of the walk. Amazing foraging activoty - highly recommended!

Our guide was so knowledgeable and engaging. Would definitely do it again perhaps in the Autumn.

Often arriving with no or low expectations is the best way to experience something new but with Leah's natural charm, her easy wit and her ability to bring the subject matter to life (whether through historical reference, religious or myth and folklore) the whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. Foraging, for someone who would describe themselves as only just slightly more than novice, is a tricky subject in the UK. Leah brought so much to the session - just not many steps!

Leah has incredible knowledge about foraging!

Learnt loads. Great experience. Went foraging when I got home

I had a great time this weekend and learned heaps from Leah about different mushrooms, wild herbs and berries that can be foraged locally at this time of year - plus we got to munch as we went on things I would never have normally noticed! Would love to come again at a different time of year and see what seasonal bits to look out for in the Spring or Summer.

Relaxed, friendly tour packed with incredible, detailed information about the plants and fungi found and how best to forage. Presented in a way you could relate to and remember. Opportunity to handle/taste plants found; Safety, risks and benefits of the various plants and fungi highlighted and how to pick and prepare.
Thoroughly recommend this tour, the leader was charming, engaging and very well informed.

Really informative and fun. Cooked something that evening with foraged stuff. Delicious

Absolutely brilliant experience, Leah is very knowledgeable and extremely clear in explaining all things foraging, the time went by so quickly (always a good sign) and I am looking forward to this autumn mushrooms foraging experience with Leah!
