*Please note this workshop is for educational purposes only and it is unlikely that you will be taking wild food home with you. This is a journey of conscious connection to nature and where possible or where there is only one specimen of plant/mushroom; we will avoid taking it from the groun and instead, learn about it through observation and key characteritstics .*

*Please do not pick plants and mushrooms during the foraging workshop unless instructed by the teacher- overpicking any plant damages the ecosystem and is disrepectful to plant and fungi kindgdom. The focus of this workshop will be only on easily identifiable and common plants and mushrooms so to ensure smoothly running session, please allow the instructor to focus only on the chosen plants*
