Join us for a hedgerow forage and walk at Greyfeld Woods, near Bristol and Bath. May is a great time of year for spring greens and flowers, and we'll be looking for hedgerow tea ingredients as well as wild edibles.

We recommend bringing a hot water flask with tea infuser, or grab one of ours: https://firesidebrew.co/products/fireside-eco-flask-insulated-flask-tea-infuser - and you can make yourself a tea as you go!

Parking is limited, so please do share cars where possible.

Rich will be leading this walk and here are some of the highlights of this route:

🔹 A walk through woodland and meadow, discovering lots of edible and medicinal wild foods.
🔹 Focus on hedgerow ingredients for wild tea making as well as general foraging.
