 Urban foraging - City Foraging walk. 

Urban wild food and urban foraging courses, can show that there are loads of plants, flowers and "weeds", that can be found in gardens, hedges and even on waste ground, many of them thrive in such areas. These plants and flowers are sometimes both edible and hold medicinal qualities. These walks are circular and end up back at the start point, situated close to both pubic transport connections and car parking areas. Please enquire regarding a course in your home town or city. The urban foraging wild food walk is usually 2/3 hours long and end up back at the start point.

We recently found 12 edible plants in the car park behind a train station in Bristol at the Love food festival
