About Me
My Journey
Wild Pickings is a small rural business run by me, Jade Mellor. I have been a professional forager for fifteen years, and recently completed a foundation in Medical Herbalism.
I gather what is seasonally abundant from the beautiful hedgerows, woodlands and coast of West Wales. I collect with care and sensitivity, always leaving plenty to go to seed and for the birds.
I am inspired by the landscape, the changing seasons and the wild bounty of blossoms, leaves, fruits and seaweeds, which I weave into delicious and unique food, medicine and skin care creations.
I run seasonal walks and workshops, teaching others how to identify, gather and use wild plants.
I'm also available for private and group bookings.
I am also part of the Elemental Adventures team, a community interest company and not for profit social enterprise which offers a range of nature based activities focused on reconnecting people with nature.
