About Totally Wild UK<\/h2>\n

Our main goal is to excite people with the amazing flavours to be found in the wild.<\/p>\n

On our Foraging Courses you\u2019ll see that wild food is everywhere, when foraging in London you\u2019ll find a unique range, compared to foraging in Cheshire with its relaxing countryside, when foraging in Scotland the deep woods offer bounty of mushrooms and foraging in Wales gives us amazing access to rural coastlines. Our team is constantly exploring and developing our range of foraging courses so we can make your learning experience as fun and valuable as possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row et_full_width=”true”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row et_full_width=”true” et_row_padding=”true” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1657635043793{padding-top: 90px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\n

``Excellent Day``
\nWe had a fabulous day out foraging with Megan in Barns Green. Along with perfect weather, we had all our questions answered and felt we left with a ton of knowledge.<\/p>\n

I have already and would recommend for anyone to do this, a great day outdoors learning about nature.<\/p>\n

Plus Megan cooked a fantastic meal in the woods at the end! 5*<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t
