VIP Series: Summer Foraging Walk with Rachel de Thample

Masterclass - VIP Series: Summer Foraging Walk with Rachel de Thample

The Event

This event is part of our 'VIP Series', working with experts who are renowned in their field.

"Like a sparrow’s song, foraging calls you to look around. It lures you to observe and indulge in the gentle rhythms that unfold with the seasons. It’s mindfulness at its best. Wild food is also incredibly delicious, offering a fresh palette of new and exotic flavours which are rich with nutrients, but it’s incredibly nutritious."
