Disclaimer

Any knowledge about plant medicine shared on this website, during foraging walks, or in workshops is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

These walks and sessions are designed to introduce you to local plants, explore their historical uses, and celebrate the traditional wisdom that has often been lost over time.

If you want to discuss something specific or get professional guidance, I can provide contact details for experienced medical herbalists across the UK. Your safety is the top priority!

I am not a medical professional, so it is essential that you consult your doctor or another qualified healthcare practitioner before taking any treatments, supplements, or plant-based remedies.

Always make your healthcare provider aware of any medical conditions, medications, supplements, or wild foods you are using.

Please note that Foraging Folklore cannot be held responsible for any direct or indirect, incidental, or consequential effects on health or wellbeing that might arise from information shared here, on workshops, or during courses.

The information I provide comes from my own research, education, and experience. My goal is to offer a starting point for your own exploration. Every person is different, so it’s important to take the time to learn which plants may be suitable for you.

Thank you!

FAQs

✦ Can I reschedule my booking?
 Yes! Life happens. If you need to reschedule your walk or workshop, just get in touch. Please note: Refunds can be requested within 14 days of your original booking date. Reschedules within 14 days of the event aren’t possible. In this case, we can offer a 50% discount code for another date, but full refunds or same-event reschedules within the 14-day window cannot be provided.

✦ How accessible are the walks?
 All walks are slow-paced and go at the speed of the group. If you have specific needs—like difficulty on uphill sections—let me know so we can adjust the route. Accessibility can always be accommodated.

✦ Are your events suitable for pregnant people?
 Yes! Let me know if you’re pregnant so we can adjust the walk to your pace and ensure safety regarding any plants we encounter. If you prefer an easier route, you can email me at emily.wild@foragingfolklore.co.uk.

✦ Can I get there on public transport?
 Most locations are accessible by bus from the town centre. If public transport is tricky, contact me and we’ll try to arrange a car share.

✦ Will there be parking or bike locks?
 Free parking and bike locking spots are available at all meeting points. Full location details will be sent in your booking confirmation.

✦ Is there time to take notes?
 Yes! Feel free to use a notepad for sketches or notes, and photos or filming are welcome.

✦ Are you going to make me eat plants we forage?
 I’ll share which plants are edible, common ways to use them, and what they taste like. You can decide if you’d like to taste anything, but there’s no pressure. Walks and workshops focus on engaging all your senses with wild plants—touch, smell, and taste.

✦ Can I bring my dog?
 Sure! Please let me know if you’ll be bringing your four-legged friend. Consider your dog’s temperament and how they handle small groups of people.

✦ Are children welcome?
 Yes! Children under 12 come for free. Please let me know how many children will be attending when booking. Max 2 children per adult space.

✦ How do I stay updated on new events?
 Sign up for the newsletter to receive updates on articles, podcasts, and upcoming events.

✦ How do I keep learning?
 After events, I’ll send resources to continue learning, and I’m happy to answer any questions or discuss anything you’d like to know more about.
