Wild Salad

Full of flavour, full of nutrients, fresh and free.

I love it when I can go for a stroll,

 fresh air, exercise, new thoughts and ideas 

and come home with lunch!

What do we have here?

Chickweed, dandelion, Jack in the Hedge, sorrel, salad burnet, wood sorrel, ribwort, 

wild garlic, 

daisy and clover.

 Delicious, healthy and free.

A few rules to take into consideration when foraging:-

• Know your plant. Some plants are deadly poisonous.

• Are you allowed? Is the plant protected by law? Have you asked the owner of the land?

• How clean is the area? Do cars run right by? How many dogs visit? Preferably pick edible plants at least 25m away from any cars.

• Collect into a basket or cloth bag, keeping different species separate.

• Make sure the area is left looking untouched. There is abundance out there, allow it to re coop itself and continue to be enjoyed by others.

• Make sure you have the time and energy left to process your pickings.
