What Folk Are Saying…

“We absolutely loved the course: fascinating and deeply therapeutic. Robin is a brilliant communicator and his courses are excellent value for money too. I can’t wait to go on his Edible Seashore course soon.” – Naomi Cleaver, Channel 4 & Sky Presenter

“The wild food walk took us no more than a mile. In that time we were introduced to over 25 plants that up until now have simply been wandered past or ignored as weeds. Their uses, taste and method of preparation were all covered, giving us a brand new larder to choose from – all free too! I would personally like to thank Robin. His knowledge and appreciation for the natural world is quite clearly without compare and it was our privilege to have entered his world, if only for a brief time”. – Major John Hayward

“Really enjoyed the morning, it was very informative and intensive. We covered over 30 plants in 2hrs which was plenty for me. You have great depth of knowledge which was put across very clearly. – Steve Capewell

“We both enjoyed your foraging walk finding it informative and interesting. It is a subject that we are both keen on exploring further and found that walking with you was akin to an interactive encyclopedia full of fascinating facts on a subject that you are clearly passionate about. We are currently following your advice and trying out different species each week.” – Nikki Booth

“Thank you for a lovely forage. You really opened my eyes, I had no idea how common or easy to find wilds foods are. I am now going out regularly to find the plants you showed us and develop an eye for spotting them.” – Wayne Fantauzzi

“Firstly I’d like to thank you for offering the Wild Food course. I had a really lovely time listening to you impart your vast knowledge. I have tried to eat something wild every day since!  And I have recommended you to others.” – Chris Miles

“I enjoyed the Wild Food Walk on Saturday 11 June very much; you have so much information to share on wild plants, which I found fascinating.  I am really a beginner in the world of foraging, but it has given me much more confidence in identifying plants which are good to eat, and has broadened my selection of wild salad which was previously restricted to nettles and dandelions! I would definitely like to join you again for another of your foraging courses, and I am thinking that it is probably a good idea to join a course during different seasons when other species of wild plants are available.” – Pauline McCrann
