Come enjoy a leisurely morning adventure meeting the local hedgerow and grassland plants with me, Olwyn Williams. Learn how to safely identify and harvest these common plants, and explore the food and medicinal uses of these wonderful wild seasonal offerings – leafy greens, fresh shoots, roots, fruits and bark, depending on the time of year. Suitable for beginner foragers and non-beginners, gardeners, foodies, and nature lovers alike.  A light picnic will be provided where you can pleasure your tastebuds some wild food products and get inspiration for how you can use them.

Following our delicious picnic, you will bathe in the purifying heat of a wood fired sauna right on the shore of Lough Derg, cooling down periodically in the waters of the lake. This is a beautiful opportunity to spend time with like minded people and build community.

We will have the sauna for 90 minutes / 2hours so you can thoroughly relax and enjoy the experience completely unrushed.

What you get

1/2 hour foraging safety talk, 3-hour wild food walk and talk, picnic and 1.5-2 hours of wood-fired sauna time and swims in the lake. Picnic includes fresh herbal tea and wild herb kombucha and a variety of wild food goodies and treats. Gain a practical skill and confidence to use the plants we meet on the day and meet like minded people.

Suitable for adults and teenagers.
