Wild Wander: Eastville Park

Join us for all or some of an afternoon of land work, foraging & deep nature connection and feasting as we take a Wild Wander around Eastville Park in Bristol. We will explore the abundance that nature has to offer and bask in the awe and wonder of its beauty. You can come along for any part of the day or all of it as you feel called to. 

We will start our day at The Lovepatch in Thingwell Allotments from 11am to 1pm getting our hands dirty and supporting a local community growing project. 

From 1pm we will gather in Eastville Park to explore the urban abundance of nourishing and healing wildness of natural wonders. We will explore the fringes of the park and find the hidden goodies, collecting some deliciousness that we will cook up later at Bridge Farm. While we find out all about the things we can forage we will also play and connect with nature basking in its awe.

From 4pm we will head to Bridge Farm to cook up what we have gathered and find out about recipes and easy ways to prepare our foraged foods. We will also have a chance to share more about the power of the plants and ask all our questions about plants for future expeditions.
