We will walk in all weathers apart from gale or lightening... so please bring:

Established and Reliable

We have been around teaching foraging for 25 years! We haven't just learned during lockdown. One of the longest serving sustainable education businesses. Di has has been teaching other foraging teachers for a decade. Book us and we will be there. Proven track record of 100% turn up rate.

Affordable

We believe this education should be accessible and aim to price to cover our costs and pay our taxes but also be affordable to you. We are not grant funded though so please don't expect us to compete with free temporary initiatives using public money. Many of our own Teach Foraging students charge more than we do. Di's belief is that learning to forage should be affordable so our walks start from £21 p.p for a group booking.

Featured on BBC and Channel 4

Di's foraging teaching has been featured on Channel 4, BBC and she has also been featured in National Media such as the Independent and various Magazines.

Association of Foragers

Wild Harvest School have been long standing Members of The Association of Foragers.

Why Choose Wild Harvest?

  • Long Established

    We have stood the test of time. Established in 2006 we are nearly 20 years old! We have survived pandemics and recessions and are still here. Read our reviews as testimony to how hard we work to keep you happy! Others have come and gone but we are still strong through our professionalism, quality of service for the price, and resilience.

  • Support Female-Led Independent Small Business.

    Wild Harvest was set up by a single mum of three... slowly building a business around her children, without any help. No grants, no Daddy's purse strings - just hard work and dedication and determination to provide affordable sustainable education.

  • Reliable - Book Us and We WILL Be There!

    Over all our time we have not cancelled a single session. If we commit to being there we will be there. I cringe when I see other teaching businesses cancel for personal reasons regularly letting people down and I truly believe in honouring your booking with my effort to get us there.

  • Quality of Service Combined with Value For Money

    Here you will find qualified thorough tutors, and natural, local materials yet we remain more affordable than our competitors due to our mission to provide sustainable education to ALL. This affordable quality in offering services that Don't Cost the Earth is what has kept us going for two decades!
