What to Forage in Autumn

Autumn is a time of harvest and preparation for the deep sleep of winter.

Our woods and hedgerows present a feast of wild roots, fruits and fungi to sustain and nourish as the air turns cooler and the nights draw in. Join ecologist and forager Ian Edwards in exploration of these seasonal treats. With Ian’s expert guidance, you will learn to identify safely and gather edible wild plants and experience the tastes of autumn.
