Join Lynn Shore for a late summer herb foraging walk around one of the tastiest parks in Amsterdam.

THURSDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER

10.00 – 11.45 – Park Frankendael

€20 per person

We will look at many different edible and medicinal plants, which grow in and around Amsterdam. Learn how to identify, ethically harvest and safely use the plants for health, connection to place and to increase urban self-reliance, whilst caring for the environment.

This small group walk will be 90+ minutes long, starting and ending at the same location, near the bike racks closest to Huize Frankendael. We will look at herbs which live in the woods and alongside local roads and water. There will be a handout to help you afterwards and we will drink herb tea from some of our finds. Bring along a small paper bag to take home some herbs to help you to connect more deeply to local nature.

This will be during the end of the main foraging season so expect to take home plenty of foraged herbs and ideas about how to use and eat them.

Lynn is an experienced herbalist and professional forager, who specialises in local herbs and connecting people to the nature which we are all part of – especially in the middle of a city. She has been teaching foraging in Amsterdam and helping city people become more sufficient for 14 years. Her special interest is improving mental health through herbs and nature. Lynn set up the beautiful community foraging gardens, over 10 years ago, in Park Frankendael. Part of this walk will be in there. In April 2025, she’ll be participating in the Wildbiome project, eating only wild food for one month, as part of a research project investigating how wild foods affect our health.
