Common Names
Wild Carrot, Queen Anne’s Lace, Birds nest.
Botanical name
Daucus Carota
Scientific Classification
Kingdom – Plantae
Order –Apilaes
Family – Apiaceae
Physical Characteristics for Wild Carrot
Leaves
The leaves are tri-pinnate, finely divided, lacy and triangular in shape. The leaves are bristly and alternate. The upper side is smooth and the underside is covered in hairs
Flowers
The flowers are small and dull white, clustered in flat, dense umbels. The umbels are terminal and approximately 8–10 cm wide. They may be pink in bud and may have a reddish or purplish flower in the centre of the umbel. The red flower attracts insects.

Seeds
The lower bracts are three-forked, which distinguishes the plant from other white-flowered umbellifer species.
The dried umbels detach from the plant and become tumbleweeds.
The seeds themselves are oval, flattened and covered with hooked spines.

Roots
Off white and carrot-shaped, it is edible when young but soon becomes too woody and tough to eat. Depending on growing conditions it can become quite forked. Smells strongly of carrots.
Stems
A stiff, solid stem.
Habitat
Thought to originate in Afghanistan before spreading to Europe, it is the ancestor of our cultivated carrots. The familiar orange carrot was first developed in the Netherlands in the 17th century.
Chalk grasslands, coastal sites and waste ground. Less common inland.
Known Hazards
The leaves contain chemicals that can cause phytophotodermatitis, this occurs when the sap touches your skin and is then exposed to sunlight or UV rays. This causes irritation and blistering.
No part of this plant should be consumed by pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
Could be Confused with
Other members of the umbellifer family such as Deadly hemlock (Conium Maculatum), so great care must be taken when foraging for this plant.
Wild Carrot is easiest to identify when it is in flower so it is best to observe it then and return the following year.
To learn more about the Carrot Family and how to ID them click here.
Edible Uses
The roots, even when young can be tough so it is best to use them as a flavouring. For example, boil them in a stock and then discard them before consuming.
The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked.
The flowers can be eaten raw or cooked and are lovely deep-fried in a tempura batter.
The seeds have a very distinctive taste and can be added to bread and stews.
Notes on Herbal Uses
Wild carrot or its seed oil is used for urinary tract problems, digestive problems, to induce menstruation, and for other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use for any condition.
Extra notes from the Foragers
The history of Daucus carota and its cultivation in different parts of the world can be traced back through historical texts and artwork. Paintings from the 16th and 17th century provide information on carrots’ history. Studying such paintings shows that yellow or red roots were cultivated in Turkey, North Africa, and Spain. Orange roots were cultivated in 17th century Netherlands.
I imagine everyone has heard the saying “Carrots are good for your eyesight” or “Eating carrots helps you to see in the dark” this is down to some wartime propaganda. The RAF had a new secret – radar technology that was able to intercept the enemy bombers, which they wanted to keep secret so the RAF’s success was claimed to be a result of the vast quantity of carrots eaten by the pilots.

Get ready for an adventure with a Totally Wild UK professional forager on our Forage and Cookery Course in Kent! Join us on a journey to learn about the hidden world of wild edibles that surrounds us. And that’s not all! Enjoy a delicious wild food meal that will inspire you to pick up your foraging basket for your next adventure.
What to Expect on our Forage and Cookery Course in Kent
The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild food meal!
You will be guided by a professional forager who will teach you about the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to confidently identify different plants, including their edible, medicinal, and herbal uses.
The foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent stops to discuss and identify various plants, fruits, fungi, seaweeds, and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the location, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk, and the season, but they’ll always be epic.
During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavoured salts, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavours that nature has to offer.
Following the foraging expedition, you can opt to participate in a communal cooking session, creating dishes that are inspired by the season and that celebrate the bounty of nature.
Past meals have included dishes like:
** Wild Garlic and Dehydrated Mushroom Fresh Rolls
** Elderflower Eton Mess
** Dandelion and Dulse Rice Noodle Salad
** Dandelion Root Crumb, Meadowsweet Cream & Birch Sap Syrup
After the event, you will receive an email detailing everything you foraged during the day, including harvesting tips, edibility and the best ways to get these tantalising ingredients into your everyday diets. The email will also include recipes from the lunch you enjoyed, so you can recreate the magic at home!
WHAT TO BRING
- Suitable clothing for the predicted weather, such as long trousers to protect against nettles and brambles.
- Sturdy footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes for off-path exploration.
- A drink, as some wild flavours may be strong, and it’s advisable to have water for the day.
- Snacks for the foraging walk, as lunch will be served around 2/3pm.
- A pad or paper if you wish to take notes.
- A blanket or chair for the communal meal, as seating options may vary depending on the venue.

Event Details
Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walks in the Lake District are the perfect way to learn all about wild food.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.
We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons.
During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.
You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.
FOLLOWING THE EVENT
You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life.
WHAT TO BRING
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk.
A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
EXTRA BITS
Finalised course details are sent out on the Monday before the event to the email address used during the booking process. This email will include the specific meeting location for the course and an introduction to your forager for the day. If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us. On the odd occasion our emails can end up in junk folders so please check there first.
We can never guarantee what will be found on our courses. One of the joys of foraging is eating truly seasonal ingredients and never quite knowing what to expect! What we’ll see and eat will vary from season to season and venue to venue.
Our foraging events are run outdoors, and they take place in rain or shine. Please bring appropriate clothing and shoes for the predicted weather conditions.
Children are welcome on our courses, and children under the age of 12 may attend for free, with one child attending per ticketed adult.

The foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent stops to discuss and identify various plants, fruits, fungi, seaweeds, and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the location, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk, and the season, but they’ll always be epic.
During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavored salts, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavors that nature has to offer.
Following the foraging expedition, you can opt to participate in a communal cooking session, creating dishes that are inspired by the season and that celebrate the bounty of nature.

Park Drive, Betchworth RH3 7FEA part of Buckland Estate, Buckland Park Lake was formerly a sand quarry, quarried until 1990. It is unsurprising, then, that this is an ecosystem formed on a basis of sandy, acidic soils, with sandy beaches and a sandstone cliff. At this location we generally take a walk around the lake itself, learning about the plants that thrive on the pathside, near the water, and in the woodland beyond.

Event Details
Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walk in Bristol is the perfect way to learn all about wild food.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.
We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons.
During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.
You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.
FOLLOWING THE EVENT
You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life.
WHAT TO BRING
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk.
A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
EXTRA BITS
Finalised course details are sent out on the Monday before the event to the email address used during the booking process. This email will include the specific meeting location for the course and an introduction to your forager for the day. If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us. On the odd occasion our emails can end up in junk folders so please check there first.
We can never guarantee what will be found on our courses. One of the joys of foraging is eating truly seasonal ingredients and never quite knowing what to expect! What we’ll see and eat will vary from season to season and venue to venue.
Our foraging events are run outdoors, and they take place in rain or shine. Please bring appropriate clothing and shoes for the predicted weather conditions.
Children are welcome on our courses, and children under the age of 12 may attend for free, with one child attending per ticketed adult.

What to Expect on the Forage and Fermentation Course in the Lake District
Foraging is not only free and the perfect way to connect with nature; gathering wild ingredients also provides you with some of the best kick starters for vivacious ferments as their deeper perennial roots can access a richer source of bacteria to get your kimchis, krauts and kombuchas bubbling with gut-friendly goodness.

Lacto fermentation
Wild sodas

After the event, you will receive an email detailing everything you foraged during the day, including harvesting tips, edibility and the best ways to get these tantilising ingredients into your everyday diets.

Event Details
Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walks in Oxfordshire are the perfect way to learn all about wild food.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.
We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons.
During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.
You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.
FOLLOWING THE EVENT
You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life.
WHAT TO BRING
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk.
A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
EXTRA BITS
Finalised course details are sent out on the Monday before the event to the email address used during the booking process. This email will include the specific meeting location for the course and an introduction to your forager for the day. If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us. On the odd occasion our emails can end up in junk folders so please check there first.
We can never guarantee what will be found on our courses. One of the joys of foraging is eating truly seasonal ingredients and never quite knowing what to expect! What we’ll see and eat will vary from season to season and venue to venue.
Our foraging events are run outdoors, and they take place in rain or shine. Please bring appropriate clothing and shoes for the predicted weather conditions.
Children are welcome on our courses, and children under the age of 12 may attend for free, with one child attending per ticketed adult. Please make sure to add a note to your order where prompted at checkout to let us know if you are bringing a child. There are a limited number of venues which do not allow children under 12 to attend- please double check the venue information for your event to confirm.

Buckland Park Lake
Park Drive, Betchworth RH3 7FEA part of Buckland Estate, Buckland Park Lake was formerly a sand quarry, quarried until 1990. It is unsurprising, then, that this is an ecosystem formed on a basis of sandy, acidic soils, with sandy beaches and a sandstone cliff. At this location we generally take a walk around the lake itself, learning about the plants that thrive on the pathside, near the water, and in the woodland beyond.

What to Expect on the Forage and Fermentation Course in Sussex
Foraging is not only free and the perfect way to connect with nature; gathering wild ingredients also provides you with some of the best kick starters for vivacious ferments as their deeper perennial roots can access a richer source of bacteria to get your kimchis, krauts and kombuchas bubbling with gut-friendly goodness.
Any Voucher can be used towards this event.
This starter to fermentation class touches on the basics but also delves a little deeper with more adventurous recipes, we’ll be looking at preserving our wild harvests by:
Lacto fermentation
Wild sodas
Kombucha
Pickling
This brilliant event marries wild food with wild fermentation. On this session, you’ll venture out to learn what to forage in each season and then we will show you how to transform your wild things into delicious gut-healthy and super tasty ferments.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This forage and fermentation experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a hands-on wild fermentation workshop.
You will be guided by our professional forager who will teach you about the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to confidently identify different plants, including their edible, medicinal, and herbal uses.
The foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent stops to discuss and identify various plants, fruits, fungi, seaweeds, and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the location, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk, and the season, but they’ll always be epic.
During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavored salts, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavors that nature has to offer. We’ll have some snacks but if you’re likely to need more fuel to last through the day please do bring a packed lunch along with you.
We’ll then go on to delve into our fermentations, where we’ll prepare a range of different ferments and fully get to grips with the processes for you to recreate with harvests back at home.
After the event, you will receive an email detailing everything you foraged during the day, including harvesting tips, edibility and the best ways to get these tantilising ingredients into your everyday diets.
WHAT TO BRING
- A jar or two from home – this doesn’t need to be anything special, last night’s pasta sauce jar will do! Just make sure it’s clean.
- Suitable clothing for the predicted weather, such as long trousers to protect against nettles and brambles.
- Sturdy footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes for off-path exploration.
- A drink, as some wild flavors may be strong, and it’s advisable to have water for the day.
- Snacks for the foraging walk – we’ll have some snacks during the day but if you’ll need more fuel to keep the foraging and fermenting going please bring a packed lunch.
- A pad or paper if you wish to take notes.

Event Details
Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walks in London are the perfect way to learn all about wild food.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.
We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons.
During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.
You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.
FOLLOWING THE EVENT
You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life.
WHAT TO BRING
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk.
A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
EXTRA BITS
Finalised course details are sent out on the Monday before the event to the email address used during the booking process. This email will include the specific meeting location for the course and an introduction to your forager for the day. If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us. On the odd occasion our emails can end up in junk folders so please check there first.
We can never guarantee what will be found on our courses. One of the joys of foraging is eating truly seasonal ingredients and never quite knowing what to expect! What we’ll see and eat will vary from season to season and venue to venue.
Our foraging events are run outdoors, and they take place in rain or shine. Please bring appropriate clothing and shoes for the predicted weather conditions.
Children are welcome on our courses, and children under the age of 12 may attend for free, with one child attending per ticketed adult.

Buckland Park Lake
Park Drive, Betchworth RH3 7FEA part of Buckland Estate, Buckland Park Lake was formerly a sand quarry, quarried until 1990. It is unsurprising, then, that this is an ecosystem formed on a basis of sandy, acidic soils, with sandy beaches and a sandstone cliff. At this location we generally take a walk around the lake itself, learning about the plants that thrive on the pathside, near the water, and in the woodland beyond. Toilets onsite Free guest parking Children welcome (please note that one child under 12 is welcome to attend per ticketed adult, but we do not cater separately for children on our Forage and Cook events, so you be sharing your lunch!) Dogs are not allowed CafeBuckland Park Lake

Get ready for an adventure with a Totally Wild UK professional forager on our Forage and Cookery Course in London! Join us on a journey to learn about the hidden world of wild edibles that surrounds us. And that’s not all! Enjoy a delicious wild food meal that will inspire you to pick up your foraging basket for your next adventure.
What to Expect on the Forage and Cookery Course in London
The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild food meal!
You will be guided by a professional forager who will teach you about the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to confidently identify different plants, including their edible, medicinal, and herbal uses.
The foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent stops to discuss and identify various plants, fruits, fungi, seaweeds, and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the location, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk, and the season, but they’ll always be epic.
During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavoured salts, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavours that nature has to offer.
Following the foraging expedition, you can opt to participate in a communal cooking session, creating dishes that are inspired by the season and that celebrate the bounty of nature.
Past meals have included dishes like:
** Wild Garlic and Dehydrated Mushroom Fresh Rolls
** Elderflower Eton Mess
** Dandelion and Dulse Rice Noodle Salad
** Dandelion Root Crumb, Meadowsweet Cream & Birch Sap Syrup
After the event, you will receive an email detailing everything you foraged during the day, including harvesting tips, edibility and the best ways to get these tantilising ingredients into your everyday diets. The email will also include recipes from the lunch you enjoyed, so you can recreate the magic at home!
WHAT TO BRING
- Suitable clothing for the predicted weather, such as long trousers to protect against nettles and brambles.
- Sturdy footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes for off-path exploration.
- A drink, as some wild flavours may be strong, and it’s advisable to have water for the day.

Event Details
Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walks in Sussex are the perfect way to learn all about wild food.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.
We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons.
During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.
You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.
FOLLOWING THE EVENT
You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life.
WHAT TO BRING
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk.
A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
EXTRA BITS
Finalised course details are sent out on the Monday before the event to the email address used during the booking process. This email will include the specific meeting location for the course and an introduction to your forager for the day. If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us. On the odd occasion our emails can end up in junk folders so please check there first.
We can never guarantee what will be found on our courses. One of the joys of foraging is eating truly seasonal ingredients and never quite knowing what to expect! What we’ll see and eat will vary from season to season and venue to venue.
Our foraging events are run outdoors, and they take place in rain or shine. Please bring appropriate clothing and shoes for the predicted weather conditions.
Children are welcome on our courses, and children under the age of 12 may attend for free, with one child attending per ticketed adult.

What to Expect on our Forage and Cookery Course in London
The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild food meal!

Join us on a journey to learn about the hidden world of wild edibles that surrounds us. And that’s not all! Enjoy a delicious wild food meal that will inspire you to pick up your foraging basket for your next adventure.
What to Expect on the Forage and Cookery Course in Hampshire
The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild food meal!
You will be guided by a professional forager who will teach you about the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to confidently identify different plants, including their edible, medicinal, and herbal uses.
The foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent stops to discuss and identify various plants, fruits, fungi, seaweeds, and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the location, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk, and the season, but they’ll always be epic.
During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavored salts, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavors that nature has to offer.
Following the foraging expedition, you can opt to participate in a communal cooking session, creating dishes that are inspired by the season and that celebrate the bounty of nature.
Past meals have included dishes like:
** Wild Garlic and Dehydrated Mushroom Fresh Rolls
** Elderflower Eton Mess
** Dandelion and Dulse Rice Noodle Salad
** Dandelion Root Crumb, Meadowsweet Cream & Birch Sap Syrup
After the event, you will receive an email detailing everything you foraged during the day, including harvesting tips, edibility and the best ways to get these tantilising ingredients into your everyday diets.

Event Details
Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walks in Norfolk are the perfect way to learn all about wild food.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.
We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons.
During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.
You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.
FOLLOWING THE EVENT
You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life.
WHAT TO BRING
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk.
A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
EXTRA BITS
Finalised course details are sent out on the Monday before the event to the email address used during the booking process. This email will include the specific meeting location for the course and an introduction to your forager for the day. If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us. On the odd occasion our emails can end up in junk folders so please check there first.
We can never guarantee what will be found on our courses. One of the joys of foraging is eating truly seasonal ingredients and never quite knowing what to expect! What we’ll see and eat will vary from season to season and venue to venue.
Our foraging events are run outdoors, and they take place in rain or shine. Please bring appropriate clothing and shoes for the predicted weather conditions.
Children are welcome on our courses, and children under the age of 12 may attend for free, with one child attending per ticketed adult. Please make sure to add a note to your order where prompted at checkout to let us know if you are bringing a child. There are a limited number of venues which do not allow children under 12 to attend- please double check the venue information for your event to confirm.

Buckland Park Lake
Park Drive, Betchworth RH3 7FEA part of Buckland Estate, Buckland Park Lake was formerly a sand quarry, quarried until 1990. It is unsurprising, then, that this is an ecosystem formed on a basis of sandy, acidic soils, with sandy beaches and a sandstone cliff. At this location we generally take a walk around the lake itself, learning about the plants that thrive on the pathside, near the water, and in the woodland beyond. Toilets onsite Free guest parking Children welcome (please note that one child under 12 is welcome to attend per ticketed adult, but we do not cater separately for children on our Forage and Cook events, so you be sharing your lunch!)

Event Details
Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walks in Norfolk are the perfect way to learn all about wild food.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.
We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons.
During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.
You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.
FOLLOWING THE EVENT
You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life.
WHAT TO BRING
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk.
A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
EXTRA BITS
Finalised course details are sent out on the Monday before the event to the email address used during the booking process. This email will include the specific meeting location for the course and an introduction to your forager for the day. If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us. On the odd occasion our emails can end up in junk folders so please check there first.
We can never guarantee what will be found on our courses. One of the joys of foraging is eating truly seasonal ingredients and never quite knowing what to expect! What we’ll see and eat will vary from season to season and venue to venue.
Our foraging events are run outdoors, and they take place in rain or shine. Please bring appropriate clothing and shoes for the predicted weather conditions.
Children are welcome on our courses, and children under the age of 12 may attend for free, with one child attending per ticketed adult. Please make sure to add a note to your order where prompted at checkout to let us know if you are bringing a child. There are a limited number of venues which do not allow children under 12 to attend- please double check the venue information for your event to confirm.

What to Expect on the Forage and Cookery Course in Wiltshire
The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild food meal!
You will be guided by a professional forager who will teach you about the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to confidently identify different plants, including their edible, medicinal, and herbal uses.
The foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent stops to discuss and identify various plants, fruits, fungi, seaweeds, and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the location, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk, and the season, but they’ll always be epic.
During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavored salts, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavors that nature has to offer.
