We're more than a little disappointed that we felt the need to write and post this poem...
But after hearing of three seperate instances of verbal abuse towards our local retail and hostitality staff, we're putting out our simple request; be kind!

Julia and Abbie had a fantastic morning this morning, running our Beginner's Hedgerow Foraging Course 🌿
We took a fabulous group of 13 adults (from numerous family cohorts) out around the cathedral lanes, learning about many different plants that you may (or may not) recognise!
Julia has a huge wealth of knowledge about the plants that can be commonly found in our hedgerows, how best to use them in cooking and cosmetics (and some particularly humorous anecdotes about them too!).
Our Beginner's Hedgerow Foraging Course runs every Thursday morning between now and October at 10am.
Booking is essential and can be done online via our website: www.reallywildemporium.co.uk (link in bio!)

EARTH DAY 2024 IS HERE! 🌿
Today is officially EARTH DAY and the theme this year is Planet vs Plastics! The movement calls on all stakeholders, governments, businesses and individuals by demanding a 60% reduction in plastics by 2040 and the ELIMINATION of single-used plastics by 2030.
Here at The Really Wild Emporium we could make a song and dance about our Surfers Against Sewage Plastic Free Status, however, education is key, right? So instead we're sharing some beach clean pointers for you, so that the next time you visit one of the UK's 1500 (ish) beaches, you can help conserve our shorelines & remove plastics from our oceans.
Let's face it... we should treat every day as Earth Day, but even if today just makes you think a little harder about how you use plastic, it's a positive step!

FORAGED FOOD! 🌿
If you are (or have been) dining with us at The Really Wild Emporium this week, you might recognise a few of these plants in your dishes!...
John and Julia were busy picking (in the rain!) on Monday morning to make sure that we're serving up the freshest wild ingredients possible - always hand harvesting and ALWAYS collecting sustainably!
If there's a few leaves on this reel that you're struggling to identify, why not treat yourself and book a place onto one of our Hedgerow Foraging courses! In this 1.5hr (ish) long walk we take a look at some of the most common edible plants in the UK countryside, along with their culinary and cosmetic uses, and their supposed health benefits too!
Foraging courses and restaurant dining bookable at:

FORAGING TIPS! 🌿
Here at Really Wild, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do - and that, of course, includes foraging!
When making use of the wonderful plant life that we have around us on our coastlines, it is essential that we do so in a sustainable way to minimise our impact on natures magnificent ecosystems. In this short clip, Julia shows us how to hand-harvest three different types of seaweed in a responsible way 💚
We filmed this clip on one of the lowest tides of the year when the kelp was visible without having to get wet! This doesn't happen very often - we're so lucky to live so close to wonderful beaches, so that we can get harvesting as soon as the best conditions arrive!
Watch this space for more foraging tips - or even better, book onto one of our Seashore or Hedgerow foraging courses, where we will be going into more depth about the uses and benefitis of some of our most common coastal plants!
