Attention Wild Food Enthusiasts!

There are over 20,000 species of plants that have been recorded as edible, yet in our current society you'll be lucky to find more than 25 of them in your local supermarket!

• Wild edible food plants are a great addition to a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

• They are local and sustainable, after all many are just a walk away, so you are minimising food miles and reducing your carbon footprint.

• They are free so they help cut your food bill.

• There's no packaging, no chemicals used to make them grow.

• Foraging for wild food is not only fun, it gives you a greater appreciation of nature and the seasons, reconnecting you to the origins of your food.
  
  As Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says "I happen to believe that our lives will be better if we can achieve some closeness to the natural environment, and some understanding of the nature and origins of what we eat. Growing your own food fosters these aims to a considerable degree. But a knowledge and appreciation of the wild larder completes the picture."
