WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Greater London has a microclimate. There is an enormous and diverse range of edible and medicinal plants on our doorstep. As well as the wild indigenous plants, there are a whole range of edibles introduced by Victorian park planners, modern councils and even domestic gardeners.
This walk covers a lot of bases. Learn about the edible and historical use of plants and mushrooms (when in season). Get to grips with herbal medicine - aspirin was originally derived from the willow tree and of course there’s cookery. You will learn the ‘all things in moderation’ rule. This is both to preserve you and nature. It’s not about pulling anything and everything that looks green up by the roots.
Your Expert Guides:
John Rensten is the founder of Forage London, author of "The Edible City: A Year of Wild Food," and co-founder of The Association of Foragers. After living and foraging in London for 20 years, he moved to Dorset in 2016 to focus on mushroom hunting and coastal foraging, but still runs urban foraging events and wild food walks through his network of highly experienced Foragers. His passion for wild food began while running a gastro pub, where he incorporated foraged ingredients like wild mushrooms, plants, and seaweeds into the menu.
Join them exploring Hampstead, Burgess Park or Peckham Rye Park. Locations are variable according to the seasons. The walk lasts 3 hours and the maximum in each group is 16. This walk is always popular so get in quick.
There is nothing more satisfying than learning how to walk on the wild side.

Product code: INATLWe had a fantastic day in Leeds Bramley Fall Park, on our forage and feast day. Our guide Fez was very informative and knowledgeable. Would recommend this activity to anyone interested in foraging.
We had a great day on the forage and feast day, very informative, and the guide was very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this activity.
Great Product for a present to someone who loves nature and gardening.
I ordered the 'Forage & Cook' experience for my outdoorsy friend for her birthday. Very easy to order online. I opted for the voucher to be posted. It arrived quickly, even though we had a postal strike. The voucher itself was very nicely presented with plenty of info for the recipient. My friend called me to say she's over the moon with the gift - I'll hear all about once she's been foraging! Will definitely use Indytute again.
I purchased the Forage and Cook for two for my son who lives in London, for his birthday. He received the email almost immediately. He and his wife were very interested in the Forage and Cook and appreciated the gift. To my knowledge he has not use the coupon & has not experienced the Forage and Cook opportunity as of today, April 24, 2023. I hope that they really enjoy it when they do experience the opportunity.
HOW DO I PRINT OFF THE FORAGING ORDER? IT IS A PRESENT FOR MY DAUGHTER. I thought the gift voucher was a card , so i could put her foraging day in it.
