Sharing the Red Berry Joy with Wild Things Glasgow in Queens Park last Saturday 🍒🫐🍇

Soo many berries for the heart, immune system & one slightly risky one not for the faint hearted - can you name them all? Bonus points for a wee Latin binomial

For all things wild food and foraging, Catriona and Ally will be at Scottish Wild Food Festival tomorrow (Saturday 19th September) with lots of other Association of Foragers pals. Come and join us for a couple of free herb walks (11am & 1pm) and loads of other free walks, talks & workshops and, of course some utterly amazing wild food. We're particularly excited to hear about how the Wild Biome Project participants are getting on with their month of consuming only wild food and drinks

We started this month's first Friday herb garden volunteering at the relaxing Chamomile 🌼 Matricaria recutita beds, moving on to the Skullcap 🌱 Scutellaria lateriflora

Both herbs are usually gentle relaxants - although some folk find Skullcap makes them ever so slightly woozy

First Friday volunteering will be running from 10am-1pm throughout the year - sign up form https://volunteersignup.org/H987R All levels of experience welcomed, along with an openness to learn and spend time with others on the beautiful land 🌱💚🌱
