Edible wild plants

SAVE THE DATE - REGISTRATION FROM NOVEMBER 21

During the course, we first collect seasonal wild plants in the immediate vicinity together with course leader Elena Velychko and acquire basic botanical knowledge. During the walk we will enjoy a rich tasting menu of wild plants created by Elena and have the opportunity to exchange recipes, experiences and possible uses.

Wild plants offer a valuable and healthy addition to our daily diet. They also open up a wide range of interesting aromas and flavors that can enrich our culinary perception.

Elena Velychko also allows us to share in her great-grandmother's precious legacy: her extensive knowledge and wealth of experience of edible wild plants, handed down for generations, ensured survival during the Holodomor famine in Ukraine in the 1930s.

History shows us that knowledge of the culinary processing possibilities of wild plants can play an important or even saving role in times of acute scarcity. In times of abundance, the confrontation with the edible gifts of nature can teach us a healthy humility towards the culinary offerings that are always available.

The practical part of this course consists of recognizing and collecting wild plants and imparting botanical knowledge. Participants receive course materials including recipes.

Meeting and finishing point for the wild plant walk in the museum.
