Feasting with the Seasons – Wild Foods of the Seaside & Verges
Come for a ramble in the fields and woods above Falmouth Bay, then down to the rocks of the intertidal zone. I walk here daily with my dog, and often swim in the sea. . join me as I gather free gourmet foods. . and pick some for you. Learn to identify the tastiest and most nutritious edible plants, from delicious seaweeds to bright summer berries to the freshest of young spring greens. I will teach you to identify and safely gather wild seeds, leaves, flowers, nuts, fruits, and fungi of the forest, coast & field. . each bespoke forage walk responds to the season, climate, and participants’ interests.
• We will meet at Swanpool in Falmouth for an introductory talk before ambling to the woods, fields and hedges best for collecting a diversity of local seasonal wild food.
• Depending on the state of the tide, we will walk out to the rocks by Blue Flag Gyllingvase Beach identifying and collecting some of the tastiest edible seaweeds.
• Depending on the weather, tide, time of year and what is growing plentifully nearby, we will adapt this itinerary to meet the comfort, capacities and interests of participants. . any adventure can be shortened or extended.
What a treat! Zoe was knowledgeable about everything and provided a great tour from the beach to the woods. We’ve taken photos and will do some additional investigating to find out more about our local foraging opportunities. We were very grateful to have the opportunity to meet up with Zoe and appreciated her expertise.
