Would you like to know which edible and medicinal plants are possible to find in Amsterdam at different times of the year? Want to know how to supplement your diet for free from local plants? And would you like to know how the local poisonous plants? Great! Then, join me for a walk in Park Frankendael and let me show you what’s around; Learn how to identify delicious and nutritious plants, how to ethically harvest them, and how to use them.

These Walks
The walk will start and end at the same location, near the bike racks closest to Huize Frankendael/Restaurant Merkelbach. We will walk in the woods, alongside water, on grass and other areas of the park – including the foraging gardens which I have nurtured with other volunteers, since 2014. The walk will go ahead in all weather except storms. You will receive a handout to help you remember the plants and uses, and we will drink herbal tea from herbal finds. If you want to take some foraged finds home, please bring along a small paper or cotton bag to take home some herbs and seeds. The walk is gentle and fairly slow, the paths are mostly natural, of woodchip or soil. There is a public toilet in the park. Come prepared to connect simply with urban nature.

Who am I?
My name is Lynn Shore, I have been teaching urban foraging and self-sufficiency skills, in Amsterdam for over 15 years. I am an experienced herbalist and a proud member of the Association of Foragers, and a Trustee of The Herb Society. Over the years, I have led walks for large and small groups (including Greenpeace), work with top bartenders, restaurants, eco-friendly businesses, and community groups.

This April I am take part in the Wildbiome research project where I will live only on foraged food for the month to study the effects on the body. I have special interests in improving Urban Food Security, and mental health through nature connection. I live very close to a Park Frankendael, and know the plants here like the back of my hand.

This walk is in English – I also speak Dutch.
