What have you been finding lately? Don’t forget to tag us in your pictures, we love seeing what you’ve been finding!
🌿Yarrow (achillea millefolium)
🌱☀️🍁
Very common and easy to identify with it feathery leaves. Yarrow can be found in most grassland. Flowers appear from june-October.
🌿Hogweed (heracleum sphondylium)
🌱☀️🍁
One of our favourites however exercise caution with a possible confusion being Giant Hogweed (please do not pick unless 100% sure you know you have the correct plant)
🌿Common Chickweed (stellaria media)
🌱☀️🍁❄️
Great for a salad, easy to identify for a novice forager and widespread. Flavour similar to lettuce.
🌿Crow garlic (allium vineale)
❄️🌱
Long and hollow, a native plant of the onion family & very similar to chives often used in a similar manner
🌿Morels
🌿☀️
Must be cooked before consumption! excellent edible, found in open woods, pasture,,gardens & wasteland (view our website for more info)
🌿wood sorrel (oxalis acetosella)
🌱☀️🍁
Stems & leaves are sharp & sour, very thirst quenching. Flowers are similar but sweeter
🌿Common Sorrel (rumex acetosa)
🌱☀️🍁❄️
Sharp and citrus taste, described by many as like an apple peel.
🌿Forsythia flowers (forsythia x intermedia)
🌱
We use the flowers in salads. Yellow tubular flowers, with four petals that only join at the base. Flowers appear on the branches before the leaves. Found in gardens, parks and hedges (it’s a gardening plant)

POSSIBLE CONFUSION for Hogweed:
Giant Hogweed! This is a very dangerous plant with phototoxic sap which will burn your skin extremely badly if exposed to the Sun. This is no idle warning, if you want to see how bad the burns can get a simple google search should do the trick.
Giant hogweed, has slightly shinier leaves, more hair in a ring around the stem where the leaf joints are, and more flower stems, and is much larger when mature. Giant hogweed gets to 4 to 5 metres tall, common hogweed is normally around 2 metres or less
