Thursday 21st April
Herbalists Without Borders – Gardening & Harvesting Morning
09.30 – 11.00
At the River of Herbs Orchards, in Park Frankendael
(Behind Huize Frankendael – Middenweg 72, 1097 BS Amsterdam)
We will be pruning the Elder shrubs, first harvest of the stinging nettle and more wild garlic harvesting. Loads of other herbs looking great at the moment so we will see what we have time for. Herbalists Without Borders remedies are the destination for the nettle tops today and the wild garlic. Donations in effort, money or oil/vodka/jenever etc welcome but just bring yourself to join in, if possible.
Come join me if you would like to – bring gardening gloves (not essential but handy) and a pair of secateurs if you have them (again not essential) and maybe a mug and flask of warm drink.
Call or Whatsapp me if you can’t find it – 0627596930
