Late Summer Foraging with David Winnard

Saturday 22nd August 10am - 12pm Your ticket includes a snack from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop, plus tea or filter coffee on arrival. The flowers, fruits and fungi of Hawarden Estate. This is the perfect time of the year to get to grips with the edible, medicinal and poisonous plants found on the estate. If you are new to foraging, or know a little bit, then this walk will be perfect for you as we discuss the dos and don’ts of foraging (including what the law is) as well as delving into identifying some of the commoner plants and maybe some fungi that are present in the hedgerows and woods. Expect to be finding fruits like blackberries and apples and nuts like hazelnuts and sweet chestnut, among the huge variety of other plants that have so much folklore behind them (like Mugwort - a favourite of your nature guide, David). Not only will we learn how to identify these species but also discuss ways of how to preserve them, whether that is drying them or doing something more involved like turning our finds in to liqueurs. We will forage in some of the wilder parts of the estate as well as look around some of the more formal bits of garden - not for the cultivated plants, but for some of the more interesting ‘weeds’ which often have many uses (just don’t tell the gardeners we are looking at their ‘weeds’!). You will leave feeling confident to find and pick your own foraged plants from the wild.
