You're Invited
Spring Foraging Walk at East Tytherley.
Join Johnny, our foraging expert and grower, for a foraging walk through the beautiful area around our East Tytherley market garden.
Saturday 6th June | 10am to 4pm | Farm Lunch Included
Hampshire Market Garden, Manor Farm,
East Tytherley, SP5 1LE.
Wild Food, Right on Our Doorstep
The countryside around our East Tytherley site in the Test Valley is remarkable. And in late May, it's alive with things you can eat.
On this guided walk, Johnny will lead a small group through parts of the local area, eyes to the ground and hedgerows, pointing out what's edible, what's medicinal, and what most people walk straight past every day without realising.
It's not a lecture. It's a walk with someone who genuinely knows this land, and wants to share what he sees in it.
On The Day
Meet at the farm at 10am and start with a tour of the market garden, then we'll head out together. The walk covers a mix of terrain so wear comfortable footwear and dress for the weather.
Johnny will walk you through what's growing and harvestable right now, talking through identification, uses, flavour, and the basics of foraging responsibly without stripping a place bare.
At midday we come back to the farm for a proper sit-down lunch made with seasonal ingredients, some of them gathered from the local area itself.
The afternoon we will head out again to a different area, with different species, different plants to try and an excitement for Spring Foraging.
Who Is It For?
Complete beginners are very welcome. You don't need any prior knowledge of foraging or wild plants. All you need is curiosity and a decent pair of shoes.
