Join foraging expert Tamara Colchester on a three-hour autumn walk that will introduce participants to around 15 wild, edible and medicinal trees, flowers and plants, along with their etymology, folklore and how best to prepare them.

Learn as you go about poisonous plants, and how to safely identify and avoid them. This meditative, sensory walk will take you into the riotous abundance of autumn, ending in a foraged herbal tea with delicious cakes and biscuits prepared with wild ingredients.
Ticket price: £45 per person, children (under 16 years old) £20.

Time: 10.00am – 1.00pm

When: Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th October

Where: The walk will take roughly 3 hours and will remain within the Gardens & Grounds of Blair Castle, so an ability to manage this distance is required.

This summer foraging course is an invitation to learn about the edible and medicinal summer plants
found in the grounds of Blair Castle & Gardens. Summer is a special time for foraging and this walk will give us time to celebrate the best of this season, as the plants bring forth the last of their flowers,
nutritious seeds and ripening berries.

The course consists of a 2.5 hour foraging walk, in which you will learn lifelong identification techniques, inspiring recipe ideas, and a wealth of ethnobotanical tales.

During the walk we will move through a variety of habitats – woodland, meadow, hedgerow and garden – taking time to connect with each surrounding environment, noticing their changing flora and subtle variations in character.

We will finish up with a wild tea in Hercules Garden, with time to revise the plants learnt and how best to store them for future use.

All participants will also receive a personalised PDF containing information about all the plants met.

This course will give you:
 How to safely identify over 20 edible and medicinal summer plants and trees
 Methods and techniques for how best to work with them as food and medicine
 A time of mindful walking among beautiful grounds
 Exciting recipes to regularly include wild plants in your meals

What to bring:
Shoes that are comfortable and waterproof
Wet weather gear in case of rain
A basket or container

Meeting point:
Meet on the green in front of the castle, next to the ‘The Cannon’ coffee cart.
Time: 10.30-13.30
Cost: £45, kids go free.

FAQs:
Are children allowed? Yes (but must be accompanied by at least one adult).
Are dogs allowed? The pace of foraging walks is quite slow, so if you think your dog will be bored by lots of standing still then this might not be the walk for them!

It’s the Ballater Royal Horticultural Society Garden Festival weekend and everyone is invited to take part!
