Know your Hogweed from your Hemlock? How to make wild wine or sourdough? Join Mat for a leisurely day exploring hedgerow and seashore plants.
We meet for coffee or tea then spend the day exploring the nearby hedgerow, fields and coast, finding a variety of wild plants, herbs and seaweed. There'll be a snack break for a pastry (provided) and we have a late lunch, where Mat will host a simple three course lunch. There will be a talk about making Gin and liqueurs and some will be offered to taste with lunch.
