Hi! I am interested to learn if anyone locally has been foraging for rose hips and the likes and where? Thanks!
I will forward your query to the Food and Growing Group. But also do you know about the monthly Wild Food Walks starting from the Loughborough Centre? I’m sure they would be able to help http://lambethbandofsolidarity.wordpress.com/invisible-food-in-brixton/. Also there is a google map ‘South London Fruit and Nut Tree Map’ which people can add to. I’ve had a look on it for rose hips, but none are there yet.
