Stoke Barton Farm Walk

Thank you to all those who came on the walk at Stoke Barton Farm. We concentrated on spring greens and tried out various different edible plants while walking, including; Alexanders, Hogweed, Sorrel, Dandelion, and Ground Ivy. We talked about differences in leaf shape and grouping plants, particularly the umbellifers and about country uses of some of our most common landscape plants like Gorse and Soft Rush.
Thank you also to Helen and Colin who allowed us to walk over their land and helped discuss field names and set-aside.
