SUMMARY:WildFoodUK Foraging Course
DESCRIPTION:Foraging safely… Even here in the city\, Nature offers wonderful habitats and food for free. Join us and WildFoodUK for a fascinating stroll in the ‘urban countryside’. A first level course in foraging.\nCastle Bromwich Hall and Gardens represent a rare example of a 17th century Jacobean country house\, complete with its original garden setting and parkland. Situated only five miles from Birmingham City centre\, the hall is now in private ownership\, but 40 acres of historic garden and the parkland are managed by Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens Trust. The site contains a mosaic of habitats including formal gardens\, orchards\, woodland\, wetlands and grasslands making it ideal for all year round foraging! \nOur Foraging Courses begin with a short introduction to Wild Food UK\, what to expect from your day and a brief summary of the general countryside codes\, including our Foraging Code. \nHeading off at a leisurely pace\, your instructor will teach you how to safely identify the different species of edible and poisonous plants and mushrooms that you discover. This exploration will take about 2.5hrs\, during which we’ll take a break for a homemade refreshment\, such as our Hogweed & Wild Garlic Soup or Elderflower Champagne! \nThen it’s back to the meeting point for a tasty wild food meal. This will include a selection of foraged homemade treats created by your instructor\, and a dish made with what we have collected during the walk. \nAll of our food is seasonal\, so what you are served depends on what is growing at that time of year. In Spring we will be making use of the fresh wild greens and in Autumn\, the array of tasty wild mushrooms that the area has to offer. \nYou will receive a comprehensive set of Wild Food UK ‘Course Notes’ a few days after your course. This email will contain links and articles relating to the plants and mushrooms we discovered or discussed during the day. \nDates \n\nFriday 24th April (12-3.30pm)\nSunday 10th May (12.3.30pm)\nSaturday 11th July (10am- 1.30)\nSunday 16th Aug  (12-3.30pm)\n\nCastle Bromwich Hall and Gardens has free parking\, a courtyard cafe and toilet facilities. There is usually a charge to enter the gardens\, but if you are attending a course with us we will cover the cost.  \nDiscover more about this Historical Landmark: Castle Bromwich Hall and Gardens \nN.B. Please be aware of the possibility that you will also cover Steep slopes\, rough woodland on this course. \n  \nTickets here

SUMMARY:'Fundraising Harvest Festival'
DESCRIPTION:‘Harvest Festival’\nSunday 27th September\nWhat to expect?\nAll the stuff you would think of when it comes to a Harvest Festival\, but just in our own little ways. The day comes complete with: animal vegetables\, Morris dancing\, crafts with corn/wheat and of course\, scarecrows! \nCompetition (Get involved!) 50p per entry.\nThere will be three elements to the competition if you would like to enter any of them. They will then be voted on by visitors to the Gardens on that day. \nThese include: \n\nVegetable animals – any animal (fictional or otherwise!) made out of fruit and vegetables\, no bigger than an A4 piece of paper – think of those lovely cauliflower sheep!\nFlowers in the Most Interesting Vessel – an arrangement of flowers of any sort\, dried or otherwise\, in any vessel you choose (for instance a Wellington Boot!). The vessels shouldn’t be excessively large and need to be able to be put atop a trestle table.\nScarecrows – whether out of straw or not (old clothes and socks would do!)\, these should be anywhere from 2ft up to about 6ft\, and can be of famous people or not.\n\nClick Here to enter the competition. You can pay on the day. \nThe idea is that the competition is FUN and not something to become overly serious about. \nEntry from 10:30 until the end of the day at about 16:30. \nAt 14:00\, Beorma Morris will lead us in some border revelry\, before a final gathering and announcing of the awards. \nPrice\nAll of this is included with entry. \nAdults £6 \nConcessions £5 \nUnder 16s £3 \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n
