About Us

 Had a brilliant day out foraging with Lola and Lewis from Experience Hampshire - after purchasing the tickets for my partner's birthday. Despite being relatively late in the (mushroom) season.. we were amazed at how abundant the forest was and how many varieties we found in such a small area. Our hosts were super knowledgeable as well as likeable - and we came away with lots of new insight and tips. We liked that it was intimate enough to chat to others and ask questions, and it didn't feel like a cookie cutter experience (the conversations were led by what we found in the forest!). Would go again, and recommend to others! 

I went on a foraging experience with Lola and Lewis, so informative and inclusive. Lola and Lewis took their time to introduce themselves and get to know everyone and were on hand to answer any questions and share their knowledge and wisdom about fungi, plants, herbs and trees - a great experience!

 "I have been on foraging walks before where the main emphasis is on finding food. The walk that I took with Lola was different. I’ve never met anyone with such an all-encompassing knowledge and understanding of plants and their properties - in folklore, for food, medicine and wellbeing. Lola is so tuned into nature, the seasons and wild plants, you can’t help but feel inspired!

Autumn Foraging was such a delight. We felt our guides were ‘the best of the best; in their fields, i.e. poisons and poisonous plants and fungus and the efficacy of the same. I have bene on mushrooms forages before, but this time, I actually felt informed enough to pick some mushrooms which we fried up for our lunch. Thank you both for a wonderful morning. 

 “I joined Lola and Lewis for a morning foraging session in the New Forest - it was brilliant - I'd thoroughly recommend the experience to anyone, young or old”
