Grass Roots Remedies Co-op

04/10/2026

Yesterday was our final session of Wild Things Glasgow 2026. Amazing to think that it's been 200 days(ish) since our first class and walk in Queen's Park. Now here we are, making plans for future meet ups whilst we feast on a delicious lunch shared with SJSM Allotments - our lovely hosts in Pollok Park

Over 8 months we've foraged, walked, talked and got deep into all things wild food and medicine. From Few Flowered Leek in early Spring to Hawthorn, Plantain, Limeflower, Rosehip and closing with the calming influence of Valerian root. We've covered 40 wild plants - and the odd fungi and lichen - which are abundant in our biorgion

Want to join Catriona next year? Bookings are open now, you can choose to join us each month March-October in Pollok Park on either Fridays or Saturdays 10am-4pm. Each session starts with a class at the allotments, followed by communal lunch and then a walk. All walk locations are accessible by public transport - we will also lift share as much as possible

We also have online course spaces available - including extra-subsidised spaces. You'll get access to all of the course materials and 4 seasonal Zooms with past and current students - come and geek out with us about plants

So you can start your herbal experimentations before 2027, If you book before the end of the year, you'll also get a free space on our online course Kitchen Herbal Medicine

Sharing the Red Berry Joy with Wild Things Glasgow in Queens Park last Saturday 🍒🫐🍇

Soo many berries for the heart, immune system & one slightly risky one not for the faint hearted - can you name them all? Bonus points for a wee Latin binomial

For all things wild food and foraging, Catriona and Ally will be at Scottish Wild Food Festival tomorrow (Saturday 19th September) with lots of other Association of Foragers pals. Come and join us for a couple of free herb walks (11am & 1pm) and loads of other free walks, talks & workshops and, of course some utterly amazing wild food. We're particularly excited to hear about how the Wild Biome Project participants are getting on with their month of consuming only wild food and drinks
