This event is open to carers residing in or caring for a person in Edinburgh and Midlothian. 

When: Wednesday 2nd October, 11am – 12:30pm

About the event: 

Join us for a guided foraging walk to discover what is growing at this time of year. We’ll learn about the uses of different mushrooms and associated folklore. 

Foraging helps us to appreciate our natural surroundings and can work wonders for our wellbeing. This is a great time of year to take the opportunity to connect with nature and forage responsibly for Scotland’s fungi species.
