It’s bitterly cold here today, bizarrely cold for late March. Ponds are frozen solid and there is a strong biting wind which is keeping most people in there homes. As hardy Urban Herbologists, my little girl and I wrapped up warm, took a few herb photos in Park Frankendael, harvested some Black Horehound to test at home and then thawed out whilst enjoying a warm milk and a hot chocolate in Merkelbach restaurant.

Here is the White or Common Horehound (Marrubium vulgare)

And some increasingly delicious swathes of Wild Garlic.

All in all, a great day to visit the park and test out a new coat.
