On Tuesday, September 17, at 7 pm, Narberth Museum will be hosting an informal talk on foraging within the rich and diverse Pembrokeshire landscape.

The evening will be part of the museum's Calan Haf project, sponsored by PAVS, that has been running throughout the summer.

The ethos of the project has been developing a sustainable future using traditional skills and will continue with a herb planting activity at Narberth Food Festival's education day and a natural dyeing workshop as part of Transition Narberth's 'Narberth 2030' event in October.

September's foraging evening will be delivered by Julia Horton-Powdrill, founder and organiser of the hugely successful 'Really Wild Festival;' a food and countryside festival celebrating the landscape of Pembrokeshire through a series of walks, talks and cookery demonstrations.

The festival is held annually in St. Davids where Julia also runs her educational foraging business, 'Wild About Pembrokeshire!', which recently won a bronze award at the Pembrokeshire Tourism Awards 2013.

Here, she 'offers visitors entertaining and stimulating walks and courses along the hedgerow and on the seashore explaining how everyone can make use of wild plants and seaweeds in their everyday dishes.'

Julia has also recently appeared on television, foraging with Martin Dorey in 'One Man and his Campervan' and was a committee member of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the National Trust Wales, the Heritage Lottery Fund and vice-chair of the UK World Heritage Site forum.
