St George's Mushroom Forage

May is a glorious time of the year for foraging. It’s the time when you will find wonderful spring wild foods that include the St George’s mushrooms.

Join us on our foraging woodland adventure! Henry Ashby, expert forager and supplier of wild food to Wales’ top restaurants, will lead this foray in the St Pierre's Great Woods just outside of Chepstow. Henry will teach you how to identify these edible treats and how to forage sustainably. We hope to find St. George's mushrooms, and other spring treats such as ramsons, wild chervil, pig nuts and celandine.

After our forage we will head to The Millers Arms near Chepstow to enjoy a light bite featuring foraged foods. We will talk about the wild foods found on the day and give you lots of ideas and tips on what to do with your edible treats.
