Foraging With Emily

Everything I do is rooted in connection to the land. I'm passionate about foraging, growing, crafting herbal medicines and generally embracing a wilder sort of lifestyle. My absolute favourite thing in the world is to share the joy and medicine of the plants with others. This is the peoples medicine!
‍
I am currently a community herbalist and am in the middle of my studies to become a medical herbalist. This will enable me to see clients 1-1 which will be an exciting next adventure.
‍
I currently offer foraging walks and herbal workshops around Sevenoaks, Kent, where I share my love of plants and fungi.

MY HERBAL ROOTS
It all started with foraging with me. I first discovered foraging after stumbling upon a farm that housed an amazing forager - Justine Gens. She introduced me to foraging and I very quickly fell in love with finding wild foods and medicines in the plants around me.

I started to learn as much as I could and enrolled in various herbalism, wildcrafting and foraging courses. Foraging really cemented my love of being out in nature and working with the living plants, and this is something I take with me into how I show up in the world of herbalism.

During this foraging walk we will be focusing on spring greens and the first spring flowers for food and folk medicines. You will hear about common folktales, the many uses of each plant and learn easy tips to help you start foraging by yourself, ending with a delicious lunch prepared over the campfire using some of what we discover on our walk.

Everyone that learns with me is out with their hands in the dirt, picking plants and crafting their own medicines from scratch. It's really the best way to spend a day!
