Herb foraging walk, Kaukajärvi La 30.8., 17.30-18:30 (15/10/5€)

Come to a walk that makes your inner forager more skillful!

Lystihuoneenpuisto next to Kaukajärvi is a fertile meadow with many interesting herbs to collect.

* You can save with food expenses.

* Know how to use wild plants in your everyday life for tea, food and medicine.

* Enjoy connecting with other like-minded participants and bigger-than-human-nature.

During the walk you get to know at least 5 edible wild plants and something about their properties, like st. johns wort, yarrow, nettle, valeriana, comfrey etc. You also get to know look-alike species.

I also introduce you to the principles of safe and confident wild herb foraging. With those principles you can see whether the place is safe for wild herb picking, whether it is a good time to pick and what are we allowed to pick and what not.

PRICING: I wish that everyone can come and that I also get some monetary compensation. Pay the amount you can pay with joy :) Price includes: Tour 1h, possibility to join wild herb forager peer support group on Telegram, 2 weeks of remote mushroom consultation through whatsapp/email after the tour.
