Explore the Stoke Park Estate learning, identifying, sampling and utilising the trees & plants found in the park
Join Steve England during the Bristol Walk Fest for a special 2 hour wild foods and practical plants walk within the upper parts of the Stoke Park Estate. Steve will take you on an exploration of the fields and woodlands looking at both Wild Foods and Practical Plants, learning, identifying, foraging and utilsing the plants, trees and edibles available within and around the park at this time of year.
Learn how to identify the plants to taste and which to avoid and discover the wild foods from grasslands, woodland and hedgerows. Learn the species suitable for woodcraft and fire and get hands-on with materials we find. Learn to identify edible trees such as lime and useful trees such as willow.
Led by award-winning horticulturalist & conservationist, Steve England, this fun and informative session is a rare chance to discover the array of plants and trees on offer, find out about poisonous look-alikes, understand how to make the most of your surroundings and learn the importance of conservation for your future foraging adventures.
