Frankendael 365 – Get Involved

365 Frankendael, Foraging

Meet on Monday 16th April, 2012, Frankendael Park if you would like to get involved!

I’m starting the 365 Frankendael project on 21st April 2012 and would love to meet anyone who fancies helping out by taking occasional photos and maybe identifying some herbs, which they notice in and around that park (or other places in Amsterdam, which I’ll also document on the blog).

I’m going to document herbs which are “in season” in Park Frankendael, every day for a year. The more photos and info I receive, the more useful the project should be for other people who like to forage here in Amsterdam or who simply like to know what is growing here.

This gathering is just to meet anyone who may like to get involved with the project, however infrequently. You don’t need anything more than a camera and ability to email me. I’m friendly and love talking about and looking at plants!

If you need more info or you can’t make it but want to get involved, then please send me an email.

I look forward to meeting you there!

I have set up a meetup.com group (with Jennie Akse) and that’s another way to contact me, if you prefer. Anyone can join the meetup group.

365 Frankendael, Foraging, Wild herbs, , ,

Many visitors to this site are interested in wild herbs and foraging. As you probably know, I do my foraging in the city of Amsterdam and am keen to encourage more of you to learn about the herbs around you. Often those I speak to are unaware that right here in Amsterdam, there are herbs to be foraged every single day of the year – if you know where to look.

From the New Moon in April 2012 I’ll be adding a little challenge to this site. I’m calling it 365 Frankendael because I live close to that beautiful Amsterdam park. I aim to post a photo and comment about herbs I have found in and around Park Frankendael, every day, for a year.

I’m sure to be away for some part of the year so will appeal for a little assistance when those times approach. If you’d like to help out then please contact me.

I hope you like the idea and will enjoy watching the herbal year in Frankendael unfold.
