I will lead you on a guided tour of an incredibly rich and biodiverse site along the Severn Estuary, close to Chepstow, covering edible meadow & hedgerow species along the coast, and estuarine species on the shore. You can expect to be introduced to a myriad of edible species on any given day of the year, with diverse, exciting and surprising flavours, which we will nibble on as we meander! From foliage to fruit, fungi to flowers, seeds, herbs, spices and more, as we encounter each ingredient I will teach you how to identify, sustainably harvest, and use them in delicious food & drink recipes, whilst detailing their medicinal properties and associated folklore.
This is a gentle route suitable for all ages and mobilities. Up to 2 children 14 years and under may attend for free with any paying parent/guardian.

I am passionate about all aspects of wild food: how it is sought and found, how it is harvested, processed and ultimately eaten and enjoyed! The delicious and nutritious bounties of the nature surrounding us daily, are astoundingly unknown and forgotten. I consider myself an ambassador of wild food, that is any edible which is occurring, growing or living in a natural state. Not domesticated, cultivated nor tamed.
Since childhood, I have been entranced and intrigued by the natural world. I have also always been greedy, my first word was “more”. My earliest memories either involve food or creatures, or both! Having developed my lifetime passion for nature into a career, I am now a forager, educator, purveyor, consultant and chef of wild food.
I forage daily, meaning I go out and search for all varieties of wild edibles, in the stunning county of Monmouthshire, South Wales, where I am based, and beyond. I would love to share my knowledge and appreciation of wild edibles with you, whether it be in the capacity of a foraging teacher on a guided excursion, or as a wild food chef and consultant or collaborator.
