Discover Summer Foraging in Hampshire & West Sussex

Summer is a season of fullness and abundance, when the land is alive with colour, scent, and flavour. Hedgerows swell, flowers bloom, and wild foods ripen under long, warm days.

Join guided summer foraging walks across Hampshire and West Sussex, set within the wide open landscapes of the South Downs. These workshops invite you to slow down, wander, and discover the generous wild harvest that summer brings.

From fragrant elderflower and meadow herbs to berries, seeds, leaves, and early fruits, summer offers some of the most joyful foraging of the year. Each walk is shaped by the season and the land, making every experience unique.
