Hedgerow Foraging & Basketry Weekend – 19th – 20th October 2023
Location: Near Totnes
Time: 9.30am – 4.30pm both days
Have you ever wanted to weave a basket straight from the land, and learn how to forage for food & medicine?
Myrtle & Emma warmly invite you to join them for a weekend of foraging for wild food and materials to weave your own unique frame hedgerow gathering basket.
Autumn brings a rich diversity of woodland and hedgerow species, with an abundance of wild food, medicine and materials awaiting our merry band of wildcrafters.
Our cosy outdoor venue nestled in the beautiful Dartington Estate is home for the weekend, with covered fireside spaces, and handmade wild refreshments provided.
We’ll spend part of the weekend out exploring, returning to the warmth of the hearth with everything needed to learn the traditional craft of basketry.

Foraging and Forest Bathing Experiences
On an immersive and relaxing experience, you’ll be introduced to the sensory arts of foraging and forest therapy, and experience the restorative power of connecting back with nature through wild food and an embodied connection to the land.
You will be guided through relaxing and gentle ways to become fully present in your surroundings, tuning into the plant and animal world with the senses our ancestors used to thrive and survive, meeting and gathering wild edible plants, with the option of staying to share a picnic at the end of the session.
.This is a dive into seasonal foraging interwoven with forest therapy invitations to help you develop a “wildful” relationship with the land and your own inner nature. These experience are co-led with Emma Capper of Creative Journey’s In Nature. To find our more about Forest Bathing, see Emma’s description of this practice.
