Description
Join us on the Heath, where we will learn how to identify 10-15 common edible wild plants, including maror – bitter herbs – for the Seder plate.
Have you ever wondered how to tell tasty plants apart from their poisonous cousins? Or wanted to connect with nature and the seasons in a deeper way? Edible plants are all around us in the city, so join us for a guided foraging walk and get to know your botanical neighbours. From wild salads and soups, to herbal teas and pickles – there’s a whole world of wild food waiting to be discovered. Jews, too, have a tradition of foraging and wild food is an inspiring way to connect with our roots.
The walk will be led by London National Park City Ranger, Michael Green (www.instagram.com/londonfungusnetwork) and last around 2.5-3 hours, including foraged herbal tea. Bring yourselves, a pen, notepad – and a resuable cup!
Location: Hampstead Heath, Golders Green NW11
Accessibility: The walk will take place on a mix of hard footpaths and grass. The terrain is suitable for buggies and wheelchairs, though the grass may be wet and muddy at this time of year.
