Seasonal Country Watch

Berry Time

According to the Woodland Trust people have spotted the blackthorn sloes ripening as well as dog rosehips ripening ... Wild & Green has also spotted wild raspberries and ripening blackberries in the last week.

Where to find all these wild delights? Check hedgerows, scrubland and woodland when you're next enjoying a countryside stroll.

The Woodland Trust has put together a free downloadable 'Hedgerow Tipples' fact pack which includes how to make:
  • blackberry brandy
  • slow gin
  • rosehip liqueur
  • hawthorn schnapps
For more details go to the Woodland Trust website
