The Virtual Wild Garlic Festival Is Open!

Get outdoors on a Wild Garlic Adventure

Kids now spend twice as much time playing indoors than outdoors! With 3/4 of children spending more time indoors than prison inmates. Yes you read that right! It blows my mind.

To help you get outside this Spring we have created the Wild Garlic Festival.

Wild Garlic Festival

To help families across the UK and Ireland get outdoors this Spring. Heading outdoors for even 20 mins three times a week improves our connection with nature and mental health for all ages.

Here is what you get when you sign up to the Virtual Wild Garlic Festival

Learn how to forage Wild Garlic
Make delicious family-friendly recipes
Share a whole host of incredible outdoor activities with families across the UK and Ireland.

The perfect way to start foraging if you feel a bit nervous and spring into March. Get your children to put down their screens and have fun in nature and the kitchen while making memories as a family.

Wild Garlic Festival

Inject some wildness and fun into this March. Get your little ones to put down their screens and explore nature. Make Spring family memories; from our Bear Faced Dough Balls to our Gorgeously Green Soda Bread, helping you build up to your Wild Garlic Picnic this March.

This Wild Garlic Festival is a great way to encourage you all to have fun in your local environment. You will gain magical knowledge and understanding through exploration and play!

This is great for mini bears from 2 - 12. Get them out there adventuring and cooking simple things; from Wild Garlic Butter to understanding Garlic Oil.

The whole festival is online so you can do it in your own time though you will have more fun if you join the community! Will Team Bob the Bear win or Team Milo Mouse - join in from across the whole of the UK and Ireland or even the USA.

"Imogen and Duncan aren't your average foragers and chefs. They are funny, make it real and I feel part of their family. They make me feel human as they don't pretend to be perfect. We love their challenges and make so many memories. Our only regret is not finding them sooner "

“Thank you so much, we’ve had the most amazing time at the Festival, the videos have made us so happy too. We’ve had a few unplanned foraging moments, where we’ve emptied our water bottles on our bike rides to fill it with foraging delights. We’ve enjoyed the cordial, rosehip custard with some blackberry crumble, plus this morning we made the most delicious elderberry, blackberry basil yoghurt but swapped the toast for pancakes! Thank you again from the covey of Partridges - we also found some shark teeth fossils this week.”
