What a weekend spent with some truly amazing foragers and friends as we explored the process of extracting the starch from alexander roots. This revelation was discovered by and during the last year.
This is probably why the Romans loved this plant and brought it over with them during their conquests. For a long time I wondered why, simply because of the strong acquired taste of the leaves and now it all makes sense.
First year growth we can harvest so much starch with great yield and over the weekend (I forgot to take footage of) we discovered that the second year flowering stems hold so much sugar that you can boil it out into a delicious molasses syrup! How cool is that?!!!!
It amazes me at how much we still don't know about wild food, information that has been lost to undocumented history and these discoveries really bring home just how little we use the full potential of the wild things around us.

You can pick plenty up from books and videos but being out in the field is something else entirely.
I cannot recommend enough getting out there and learning the land from local experts, seeing, touching & identifying plants in real time 🌱
It builds so much confidence when it comes to identification and I always leave feeling so inspired ✨
I’ve been on many, many foraging days and experiences in my life and will always come back to them.
If you’re local to Kent or fancy coming down for the day from London, I highly recommend hopping on a foraging day with Micheal from
Now to put all that new knowledge into practice 🌸🌼🌻

Tenacious and talented Clair has created a vibrant and productive business, small holding and home in one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. What an absolute privilege to have spent some time in her domain.
Thank you Clair for dedicating so much time to me and making me feel so valued as a guest. I won’t soon forget being sent into icy waters to collect kelp ( ok it was for me) or the sound of your laughter as I shirked and exhibited the full extent of my Southern hardiness.
Claire has written an inspirational book about the use of wild plants as herbal medicine which can be found for sale on her website. My copy is already well thumbed and my mind full of potions and lotions I want to create.

We all know the cliché regarding heroes and meeting them, so to be friends with a titan of the wild food world would seem a risky business!
Happily in addition to his many talents Mark is an extraordinarily warm kind man who wears his standing in the foraging community with an arresting humility.
Thank you mark for rolling out the red carpet, tutoring me in the ways of spoot wrangling and making me so very welcome.
Mark has recently published a magnificent book on coastal foraging, a fantastic opportunity to gain a little of his exceptional knowledge, get one while you can!

I take my children every year, it’s an excuse to experience the bleak beauty of the sand flats, engage with food in the way nature intended us to and to work together as a family.
Often foraging is not about what or how much you gather, but a motivation to do what is instinctively right.

Just a little video of me laying a young hedge in the ‘South of England Style ‘, traditional to Kent and the South East.
It’s not long now until our two day winter hedge laying course which will be held on 21st and 22nd February 2026 near Ashford in Kent.
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn an ancient craft which is regaining its importance as a vital technique for returning old overgrown hedges to vigorous, manageable hedges with incredible environmental benefit.
Last year’s course was very popular, so get signed up in good time to take advantage of the early booking discount and to secure a place.
We are incredibly grateful to Hatch Park for hosting this event in 2026.
Full information and booking can be found via the bio, but please feel free to get in touch with any questions.
We look forward to seeing you!
