Urban Foraging in Hasenheide: Season change delicacies

Come soak in the end of the season on this plant-focused foraging walk, where we will explore the edible abundance of the city. Once the weather starts to cool, the changing season brings us an incredible bounty of fruits, seeds, nuts and roots – all of which are available just around the corner from you. Once you know what to look for, there is wild food everywhere!

Join Simka (they/them), a local foraging guide and nature coach, who will show you how to safely identify and work with a range of common and easy-to-recognize delicious edible and potent healing plants. In a friendly, informal setting, you'll gain loads of insight into the uses and folklore surrounding each plant – such as wood avens (whose aromatic roots provide an incredible clove flavor perfect for mulling and baking), hops (whose flowers can be used to brew beer and create incredible insomnia cures), hawthorn (whose sweet red fruit can be made into heart-healing syrups), and hazelnut (who doesn't know and love that deep nutty sweetness already?) – all weeds and common plants that grow all over Berlin!

As we meander through the park, we'll pause often to meet and sample these incredible wild pals as well as gather our own harvests in safe and abundant spots, so that you can bring home a collection of delightful wild autumn ingredients.

You'll come away with a completely new perspective on the city's weedy & wild abundance, as well as loads of inspiration for how to incorporate it in the kitchen – plus many tips and tricks for making ferments, syrups, tinctures, teas, salves and much more.

A note on pricing & philosophy:

I offer my foraging tours on a sliding scale / pay-what-you-can basis, because it's a deep value of mine that this learning – which radically connects us with ourselves, the land, and one another – should be accessible for everyone.

However, I do rely on this income!

That means: if you have the means, pay the full fee, or more.

If you don't have the means, please feel fully invited to pay whatever you can.

And if you want to come, but genuinely cannot afford any extra expense, reach out to me directly for a 100% discount, no questions asked. I have absolutely been there, I see you, and I want you here.

I'm trying to do things differently, because it matters to me. Please join me in the complexity of building a better, more equal world!

Please note: because of the material costs involved for this tour, subsidized & pay-what-you-can places are limited. 

Registration and cancellation:

Once you register for the workshop, you'll receive an email with all details on the exact meeting location as well as what to bring.

The event will go ahead regardless of the weather. The plants and mushrooms don't mind if it's wet!

If you can't make the event, you may cancel by email up to 48 hours in advance. This ensures another participant can take your place. Refunds for cancellations within 48 hours of the event are not possible.
