Foraging across the North West
Welcome to Wyrd of Mouth!
Do you know your blackberries from your buckthorn, and dog rose from dogwood? Book a foraging course today, and start your journey to cure ‘plant blindness’.
Foraging is a fantastic activity to engage with the natural world in a healthy, sustainable and tasty way! At Wyrd of Mouth, foraging walks are exciting and educational treasure hunts, immersed in the outdoors and hopefully with something to show at the end!
In the nature-depleted UK, many of us have lost our ancestral connection to wild foods – these may even cause fear! But we can learn these skills; indeed, our brains have evolved to do so. It just takes practice and a bit of respect for what is unsafe. Many wild foods are considered unusual or gourmet, so why not learn how to find them for free?
Many foraging courses are held deep in the countryside (which is fantastic), but our approach is intentionally suburban and more applicable for the day-to-day forager, whether you are on your morning dog walk or the school run. As such, we will address issues such as pollution, fouling, and antisocial behaviour too!
Our courses are based around Merseyside, Lancashire and Cheshire in North West England. Custom courses further afield can be arranged by enquiry. Book a foraging course on the link below at £30 per person.
