Join us at our Coombe Park Sanctuary for a day in the woods to discover the wonderful wild plants that can be used for food and creative crafts.
This event begins with a guided foraging walk, where you’ll learn how to identify a variety of plants and explore their culinary and medicinal uses. You’ll discover how to forage safely and sustainably, enjoying the delicious wild foods growing all around us, just as our rescued ponies do.
After the walk, we’ll come together to weave those natural threads into beautiful willow platters or bowls. This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of willow weaving, giving you the chance to connect with this versatile material and create your own display piece to take home, to showcase your foraged finds.
The day includes tastings, a wild-inspired lunch, a chance to explore our beautiful equine reserve, and all materials needed for your willow projects.
