Cavehill Spring Herb Walk £15

With spring in full swing, now is the perfect time to go foraging for seasonal wild edibles! Come join us this Sunday 07 May to explore what’s growing on the beautiful hills overlooking Belfast.

Foraging reconnects us to the rhythms of nature and to the wise traditions of our Ancestors who knew how to make the most of the wild plants as food, medicine and craft. During this walk you will discover how to identify plants, what to forage at this time of year sustainably, and how to cook with and preserve them in your kitchens to make delicious new recipes you’ll want to share with friends and family again and again.

As registered herbalists, we will also discuss the medicinal properties of the plants and how they have been used as medicine, both past and present!

So what are you waiting for? Come and join us to find out about what type of plants, or “weeds” as you may call them, grow around gardens, parks and woodlands and how you can harvest and use them as food.

This is also a perfect opportunity to open up discussion on various natural health topics as well as nutrition while discovering the beautiful resources nature has to offer locally.

Provided you can bring a cup and some hot water, wild and medicinal herbal infusions will be available!
