This autumn, Nature School for Grownups is returning to Bridgend Farmhouse for a 4-session Fall Foraging Journey.
Across September and October, we’ll follow the changing season and get to know some of the plants and berries growing around us — through direct experience, not just theory.
Each session combines seasonal plant ID, responsible foraging, hands-on making, nature connection and, of course, play.
You might meet plants like rowan, elderberry, hawthorn and rosehip, learning how to identify them safely, understand their uses and turn the harvest into simple preparations to take home.
No previous foraging or herbalism experience needed — complete beginners are very welcome, and lots of people come along on their own.
Places are limited to 15 people per session, so book early to secure your spot.
Full 4-session journey: £56
Individual sessions: £15
About Nature School for Grownups
Looking to meet new people in Edinburgh? Come join us in the woods.
Showing up to something new on your own can feel a little daunting — especially when you don't know if everyone else will already know each other. At Nature School for Grownups, lots of people come on their own.
Our sessions at Bridgend Farmhouse bring together small groups of curious grownups for time outside learning about nature, trying practical skills, playing games, making things and having a laugh together. There’s no awkward networking and no outdoor experience required — the activities give us something to do together, so conversation and connection can happen along the way.
Whether you’re new to Edinburgh, looking to meet some new people, or simply fancy spending more time outside with good company, you’re very welcome.
