Connect the Buds: Pick and Chat Walk
Join us on the wild food adventure with Zoë, a member of the Connect the Buds (18-25 year old) community.

About this Event


Event Description:

Step into nature and discover the wild food growing all around us! On this guided foraging and listening walk, we’ll explore the green spaces near Bromley to:

  • Identify edible and medicinal plants like hawthorn berries, rose hips, and sloe berries
  • Learn how these often-overlooked "weeds" were once everyday ingredients
  • Discuss traditional and modern uses for wild plants
  • Play a plant-spotting bingo game to learn as we go
  • Taste foraged jam and end the session with scones, clotted cream, and a cozy chat

Who’s It For?

Aimed at 18–25-year-olds curious about:

  • Reconnecting with nature
  • Gaining practical food knowledge
  • Learning new skills in a fun, social way
  • Tasting something wild (literally!)



What You'll Learn:
  • How to safely identify common edible plants
  • Traditional food and medicine uses of plants we walk past every day
  • Why wild food is affordable, sustainable, and empowering
  • The risks (and how to avoid them) – including a chat about poisonous lookalikes like mushrooms



Important Notes on Safety & Accessibility:
  • We won’t forage or handle mushrooms due to their toxicity risks.
  • Those with hay fever or sensitive skin: consider long sleeves/trousers and gloves (optional).
  • The walking route is mostly flat and on well-used pathways, with benches along the way.
  • The organiser uses a mobility aid and has chosen a route with multiple exit points and bus stops nearby.



What to Bring:
  • A small bag for collecting (tote, carrier, or sandwich bag)
  • Bottle of water
  • Weather-appropriate clothing (we'll go ahead rain or shine!)
  • Gloves if preferred



Weather Plan:

If the weather turns, we’ll head back to a nearby hub space for a cozy indoor presentation — and still enjoy the scones and foraged jam!



Tasting Session Includes:
  • Freshly baked scones
  • Clotted cream
  • Homemade hawthorn, rosehip, or sloe berry jam (all ingredients listed on labels)
  • Take-home recipe included!

Woodland in Bromley Common (Meeting point: bus stop by the entrance to the footpath)
Accessible by bus, close to local transport links. Please see the map below for the start and end point.
