You've been walking past this wild medicine your whole life…!

But after 2.5 hours, you’ll never look at a ‘weed’ the same way again.

Healing Weeds has taught 2000+ people across 6+ years to identify and use wild food and medicine. We show people how to see beyond the ‘sea of green’ and safely make wild medicine from their local area.

A person reaching into a woven basket filled with assorted wildflowers and plants in a garden setting.

You’ll leave with:

  • Plants you can confidently name - ability to spot the wild food and medicine already growing abundantly round you

  • Know how to actually use them - safety precautions, when to harvest, why this knowledge matters

  • A vastly different experience of nature - our aim is that you'll never see a verge, hedgerow or city park the same way again

Spring brings leafy greens like ground ivy, tender tree leaves like hawthorn and linden shoots. Summer brings aromatic flowers like yarrow, rose and elder, as well as the first seeds. Autumn brings richness in sloe berries, hazel nuts and fennel seeds. Winter brings medicinal mushrooms like turkey tail, fresh growth of nettle, sticky weed and cow parsley.

"I walked the same park every day for five years. After one walk with Maria, I realised I'd never actually seen it." - 5-star Google review

What's included in every walk:

  • 2.5 hours outdoors in a small group (max 15) so everyone gets space to ask questions and get hands-on

  • All materials and post-walk toolkits

  • Sensory approach; we touch, taste and smell as we learn

  • Fully accessible routes, adaptable to your needs

  • Certificate of participation on request (for CPD + community groups)

Donations

Healing Weeds is a Community Interest Company, meaning our income goes towards making foraging education accessible for as many people as possible!

If you can make an extra donation, you can find the 'tip' option on the booking form. Donations help us keep our bursary places funded and our sessions accessible to all. Every contribution is so gratefully received.

The plants are available freely - and we're working on ensuring this knowledge can be too.

So, every booking for every walk helps fund a free bursary place for someone who can’t otherwise access our sessions.

Bursary Places

Healing Weeds is committed to removing barriers to outdoor education so a limited number of free places are available on each session for low-income applicants. We prioritise people from refugee, asylum-seeking and racialised backgrounds; global majority learners; trans and non-binary people; frontline activists; and anyone experiencing or recovering from trauma.

To apply, fill in our bursary form.
