Foraging is a peak Cheapo activity: bang on trend, budget-friendly and a decidedly urban version of cool survival skills.

There are some things you need to know before you hurtle out of the door, basket in hand:
NEVER pick or eat anything you can’t identify with 100% confidence; wild plants can be extremely poisonous, and in some cases fatal. There are numerous books or apps you can download which can help you identify plants but the best place to start is either with something quite distinctive (such as sweet chestnuts) or, better still, buy an illustrated guide or book yourself on a tour – see below for some suggestions.
Don’t forage in the Royal Parks – Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Hyde Park, Kensi
