Meander the hedgerows, shoreline and woodlands foraging and learning about the many edible and medicinal wild plants that thrive there.

An opportunity to learn, connect, slow down and unwind on this beautiful foraging adventure led by a professional forager and all round wild plant expert, Tamara Colchester of Plant Listening. An immersive experience into the rich blossoming of early summer.
As we meander on St. Mary’s Isle we will explore its diverse flora and fauna. There will be plant identification, medical uses, recipe ideas, conservation, history and some surprises along the way.

At the close of the walk you’re invited to visit the EcoArt Studio, 1 Castle Street to share a wild foraged tea – leaving you with an understanding of how to make healing teas with the potently powerful plants we are blessed with at this time of year.
This is part of a series of forages around The Isle, helping you to develop a growing confidence in identifying and using plants and seaweeds as we follow them throughout the year.

We hope you will gain:
A relationship with wild plants and seaweeds in your local area that you can continue to explore over the year
How to make herbal teas and medicine at home
A sense of confidence in your own foraging practice
A relationship with wild plants that will last a lifetime
