Price: £40
On Sunday 28 March 2026, as part of its series of Head, Heart & Health learning, the Great Green Barn will host a fabulous three-hour foraging course by professional forager, Dave Brookhouse.
Foraging, the act of gathering wild food for free had been a part of human existence for millennia, though what is it all about?
As part of the Great Green Barn’s Head, Heart & Health learning, in the spring of 2026 Dave Brookhouse will be leading a beginner’s guide to foraging, covering plant identification, food uses, and lookalikes when out looking for wild foods. During the session we will go for a short walk around the footprint of the Great Green Barn and For Earth’s Sake, talking about what we see, and sampling flavours of plants as we go. We will then finish the walk with some foraged tasters.
Foraging had been a hobby of Dave’s for some 6 years; now he has made it part of his profession. Dave has hosted many educational walks and talks on this gentle pastime. In 2023, he became a foraging instructor with WildFoodUK and has since hosted public courses on plant / mushroom foraging all over the south of England.
