"I attended a course today with Kevan [he was] extremely knowledgeable and patient, and explained everything very eloquently and in detail yet kept it simple. 

I had been promising to do this for years and I’m so glad I did it with The Foraging Course Company. I was amazed at the amount of edible plants and berries that I’ve been walking past for years and how they can enhance our food and general well-being. The samples of jam and particularly the spicy [hawthorn] ketchup were a revelation. 

A lovely day and a really helpful and explanatory follow-up e-mail when I got home reminding us of what we learnt"
