27th September 2018“Thanks Marlow for a wonderful course in Edinburgh. Your course gave me the confidence to go and try foraging out for real rather than just in my head. I gathered three very similar white umbrella style plants all within the same 3 metre patch of ground. What a delight it was when after lots of cross referencing (to be 100%) I ID’d the Hogweed, the taste of Cardamom from the seeds was a turning point giving me the confidence to ID the other two. One being a Wild Carrot or Queen Annes Lace and the other the deadly Hemlock. Frightening that they all grow around each other with similar looks, but as I say if it wasn’t for your expert tuition and guidance I would be stuck at just looking and full of doubt. Your course is incredible value for money which makes it accessible to all, well done and keep up the good work!”
