I’m looking for reputable foraging classes near Lexington, SC. Willing to travel a reasonable distance if needed. Thank you.
I am also in Lexington SC, and am interested to find a foraging/teaching group near here… Did you ever find a group near here?
I am retired and wish to learn about foraging for edibles and wildcrafting etc. I live North of Travelers Rest SC at the foot of the mountains. I need to find a group that I can interact with and learn the craft from as well as attend classes that are region specific
I’m looking for foraging classes/ teachers in Beaufort county/ Hilton Head area. Our ecosystem isn’t even close to upstate, so would like help in an appropriate zone/ area.
