Landschaftspark Herzberge is a hidden treasure of Berlin. With wildflower meadows, grazing sheep, fruit trees and tangled forest, it provides an idyllic landscape for a spring wander, and excellent clean areas to forage.
In this foraging tour, we'll focus on easy-to-identify herbs and flowers which are abundant in urban Berlin, which you can use for salads, sauces, pestos and syrups. I'll explain how to identify the plants, tell you about their uses and mythology, and of course teach you how to keep yourself - and the land and its other inhabitants - safe while foraging.
We'll make use of the park's abundant areas of nettles, hops, cleavers, elder, miner's lettuce and loads more to discover the wealth of tender late spring greens and exploding early summer flowers. These plants are powerhouses of nutrition, packed with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that support the immune system, decrease inflammation, support detoxification and increase circulation to help our bodies as we move towards summer energy. Plus, they taste incredible!
After our tour through the park, we'll apply our learning by making & enjoying a foraged pesto all together in the park (I'll supply the fresh homemade bread!). We'll end our tour at Stadtfarm Lichtenberg, the bio & aquaponics farm located in the center of the park, where a monthly market with fresh, local veggies and fish will be taking place.
When: Saturday May 13th, 10.30 - 14:30
Where: Landschaftspark Herzberge near S+U Lichtenberg (~ 4km walking in total)
Cost: Sliding scale 30€ / 25€ / 15€ or pay what you can
Attendance is limited to 15 people, so registration is required!
A note on pricing & philosophy:
This tour is worth well over 30€. I'm offering my foraging tours this season 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!
