Hannah with chicken of the woods mushrooms
Foraging has been around for thousands of years, a long time before people had gardens and, like our ancestors, people are now foraging for wild food and a connection with nature. Like gardening, going into nature where wild food grows and immersing yourself in that environment has been shown to support good mental health. Woodlands and forests are a good place to start on your foraging adventure. I like to forage for fruit, berries, plants and fungi.
