W I L D I N S P I R AT I O N Here are some ideas to prompt your imagination for your events. This is by no means a comprehensive list. A foraging event is an ideal opportunity to adapt your existing business to embrace elements from nature or go wild and try something completely different!

Here are a few suggestions:
• Take your phone into nature and photograph foraged elements
in situ for a set of informative table cards for your venue. • Organise an orchard / kitchen garden / woodland walk on your premises for a wellbeing experience. Alternatively, film a walk and publish online for a virtual experience. • Collaborate with a trained forager to offer a guided adventure. • Organise an art class on your premises in collaboration with a tutor. Get • in touch with your local school or college – collaborate with the art department to offer dyeing or weaving. Foraged plants can give natural dyes and fibres, textures and aromas. • Link with existing community groups e.g. walkers, and offer a venue for an event with them. • Search online for a local artisan soap-maker that would like to host an event or workshop with you and use foraged ingredients. Coastal venues could link with a seaweed forager and explore • the abundance of uses for seaweed. Link with a local gardening club and highlight the benefits of seaweed as a natural fertiliser.
