Oxfordshire, Blenheim Palace Spring Foraging Course

Directions:

The turning that you need to go down is the one pictured, opposite the Churchill Court Hotel. If approaching from the West it is the first left turning after the train station, and if approaching from the East it is the first right turning after the industrial estate.

Once you go down the lane off the main road, you will pass a house on your right. You can park your car on the side of the lane anywhere after the house, our foraging teacher will be around to meet you.

This course is a simple foraging walk where we hope to be able to identify a selection of edible Spring shoots, plants, flowers and hopefully mushrooms.

The course starts at 12pm with a 20 minute introduction on what to look for and a brief of the general countryside codes where they relate to foragers.

After a 2 to 3 hour walk around the area we will discuss and taste our finds over a tasty wild food lunch.

We will email all of you details of all the plants we find to help you remember what you have learnt.

We recommend you bring

• Warm protective clothing and footwear
• Camera
• Note pad/pen

Under 12 year olds can come for free, within reason; but please let us know how many will be coming in advance.
