This unique experience has been designed to bring your team together by enhancing their knowledge of nature through nature workshops within a community setting. My engaging session plan focuses on environmental guardianship, exploring foraging experiences, and the role we can play to reduce carbon and increase nature at the local level. Your company's participation not only promotes teamwork and teaches valuable skills in foraging and sustainability, but also supports Marbury Road Edible Garden with vital help and resources through our wild food walks.
I took all the tools I have in my mental health armoury and created this 'retreat' for Arc Centre Stockport as part of their Arts and Health week. The aim is to use the nature around us to turn down the noise in our lives. By combining art, mindfulness, and nature workshops, I've crafted an empowering experience that helps you reconnect with yourself in these overly hectic times. Through foraging experiences and wild food walks, you don't need to be an outdoor adventurer, an artist, or a calm creative type to join us... but you might leave as one.
This is a wonderful chance to engage in foraging experiences on a more intimate level with the Wild Harvest wild food walk. This two-hour forage is part of a 'Teach Foraging' weekend course, where I have crafted an engaging session plan that includes structured education under the guidance of members of The Association of Foragers. Throughout our nature workshops, we explore 20 species that span the plant kingdom at Flora, Fauna, Fungi & Foliage. Locations are flexible, as I cover Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and I also have my own land available for an urban forage.
This two-hour foraging adventure, part of our nature workshops, has evolved from The Wild Food walk. Manny Feastings focuses on the environmental heroes - Flora, Fauna, Fungi & Foliage - that thrive in built environments. During this foraging experience, you'll explore three different land types: Grassland, remediated woodland, and Brownfield. Enjoy foraged snacks and drinks included in this unique exploration.
Hire me to lead your very own two-hour foraging adventure, designed as one of the best foraging experiences available. This exclusive opportunity allows you to host and profit from nature workshops. Simply hire me for a set fee and sell tickets to your customer base, with a recommended ticket price of £40 per person.
These wild food walks can be tailored around your business, and all guests will have the option to try foraged snacks.
I am heavily insured to lead public forages, and all walks have the appropriate permissions acquired. You choose the location and market the event, while I take care of the rest.

Join us for an exciting foraging experience as you harvest your own natural clay. Be prepared to get caked in mud while you work the earth, separating the clay from the spoils to create a natural artisan product. This hands-on activity is a perfect addition to our nature workshops and complements our wild food walks beautifully.
I average around half an acre a day; if you have a large amount of land to cover, I can arrange for a scythe gang to come out, but please note that individual scyther rates vary. This service includes various planting tasks, and I only use hand tools, laying in accordance with the requirements set out by direct gov. This enables landowners to draw hedgerow payments while also participating in nature workshops and wild food walks that provide foraging experiences, all while being environmental legends by creating habitats and food for wildlife.
Train your fruit trees into beautiful and unique forms that work for you. Due to the time it takes to train a tree, I ask you to consider this as a minimum 5-year investment into your tree. These sessions have been successfully used as training days for volunteers of community orchards, equipping them with the basic formative pruning skills to use across the seasons. Additionally, these workshops can complement your foraging experiences and wild food walks, enhancing your connection to nature. Prices are per day, not per trained form, and inclusive of insurance and tool hire.
Restorative ecology can help people and community groups get growing with; gardening and general maintenance, orchard design and planting, formative pruning and volunteer training, summer and winter pruning and volunteer training, mushroom cultivation and myco remediation, rewilding your land, base mycology surveys, permaculture and no till principles, as well as foraging experiences, nature workshops, and wild food walks. Get in touch and let’s nurture your ideas into fruition.
