Our experience

We've worked with everyone from Rewilding Britain, Natural England and BBC Countryfile to The Southmead Project and ARA Recovery For All, from Burges Salmon and Shelter to UAL and UWE.

We’re featured in National Geographic foraging recommendations and are regular partners with the Bristol Walk Fest and Festival of Nature.

Our mission is to share this education with everyone!

Reviews

”Maria is a fantastic guide and teacher, leading a session filled with curiosity, learning and space. Highly recommended. I would love to do another session!”

”I’ve taken 2 different walks with Healing Weeds in 2 different seasons and will be back for more. Maria leads the walks with enthusiasm and expert knowledge. Each time I’ve come away having learnt something new and useful for my health and to make something interesting to eat from foraged plants depending on the season. Maria and the other fellow foragers were very welcoming. Highly recommended!”

“Maria was an excellent, welcoming and thorough guide. Maria kept everything accessible and engaging, but I also learnt so much. This really helped kick start some foraging in my local area, and I’ve made some delicious nettle and rosehip teas since our session!!”
