WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
This is a morning of touching, rubbing, chewing and sniffing. This is a very useful walk if you enjoy spending your time out of doors. You are about to learn how to improvise plasters, an instant cure for nettle stings (and no, it’s not dock leaves), how to prepare an antiseptic, make a poultice and cure a cough, and that’s just for starters.
This is a wild foraging walk, but leaning towards which plants can specifically be used for first aid. There will be a few tasters as you walk along, made from wild ingredients picked and prepared earlier.
John Rensten is the founder of Forage London, a man committed to exploring our edible city. He has spent 25 years studying the history and the modern use of wild plants. John will equip you with the practical and safe knowledge, gleaned through first hand experience. Expect to cover numerous topics including nutrition, medicine, herbalism and cookery….. And you thought it was all about weeds…..

Lunch was delicious and substantial enough for a day of drinking! And ofc the wines were beautiful - came home with a bottle and a smile 😊 fant...
I bought this workshop as a birthday present for a friend and it was such a fun afternoon. Claire was very helpful with telling us all we needed to know to make our own soaps. A great gift (where you end up with more gifts to give away!).
What a lovely day out. Woodstock is a small market town right by Blenheim Palace. We had a very pleasant lunch at The Crown. Service was excellent, food very good and set us up nicely for an afternoon at Blenheim Palace. Parking is very limited in Woodstock, but we managed to get a spot in a free car park in Union Street Car Park, just off Hensington Road. Blenheim Palace was wonderful, what a place. We joined a 45 minute tour inside the Palace and our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeab...
Bought this for my Dad for his Birthday, he absolutely loved it. Also said it was a great part of London he wasn’t familiar with before.
