Reply To: Foraging 1: Where is everybody living? What is your foraging situation?

[Louise Hawkins]

Hello everyone,
My name is Louise and I live in the UK, just north of Bristol. I have just started the course and am looking forward to learning more about local herbs and their use. I am very lucky to have a small garden and use permaculture techniques where I can. At the end of my road is a lovely elder and I hope to make some elderflower cordial this year. There is also a community orchard a few minutes walk from my home with a good variety of apples. Not far away (around 9km) I discovered a wonderful woodland covered in wild garlic, the aroma was amazing but I didn’t take any. I hope to build confidence and knowledge to be able to forage safely and sustainably over time.
