This course was a gift from my daughter and It was the perfect introduction into foraging. I spent several hours with a small group strolling in the sunshine along the llangollen canal and meadow, expertly led by Leah. Aswell as learning foraging fundamentals we also learnt about lots of specific plants that are available now; their natural properties and some tips on how to incorporate them into our diet. The sticky weed swamp juice is one I'm definitely going to try at home. It wasn't a lecture but an interactive session where we were all encouraged to share and learn together. Thanks Leah and fellow foraging course members
Lovely, relaxing, informative and gentle

What a wonderful place and super experience 😄❤️ I loved it! Spent a retreat day with Leah to celebrate my sisters 40th. Wouldn't necessarily be something I'd look to do ordinarily but what a day! I'd love to go back! Thank you xx
So good to get closer to nature

Leah's is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about foraging and it was so wonderful to be part of this walk and absorb all of the amazing information that she was teaching the group. I particularly enjoyed the folk law behind the plants and the powerful medicinal properties that so many of them have. I learnt so much and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about signing up - I will certainly be doing more of Leah's walks in the future :-)
Fabulous experience
