Wild Garlic (Daslook) Ethical Foraging Event

Extra Date: Saturday 17th February, 10.00 – 11.30, Park Frankendael. Amsterdam

This is an event for wild garlic lovers!

Learn how to identify, ethically harvest, craft, eat, grow, use and generally make the most of wild garlic (Allium ursinum) or Daslook, with Livvy de Graaf, assisted by Lynn Shore, professional foraging teacher and herbalist. Livvy, is Dutch-British and has been harvesting and eating wild food for longer than she can remember. She is Lynn’s daughter and certainly knows her way around the woods of Park Frankendael, where this walk will take place. She looks forward to sharing some of her skills with you.

We will be working mainly in the River of Herbs foraging gardens, so unusually, will be able to dig up some of the fresh wild garlic bulbs, to plant elsewhere or for you to cook/preserve at home.

Handout with wild garlic info. and recipes, and a cup of herb tea will be provided. You will learn about and try different preparations from sweet, sour, savoury to medicinal. And will be able to make your own potions/creations at home, using what we forage together and the handout.

Wild garlic emerging from the early spring soil, heralds the start of the main foraging season. As you learn about wild garlic, you will also learn to recognise other amazing wild herbs which are around at the same time.

Please bring along:
drinking cup
Paper bag (grocery small bag to take the harvest home)
pen/pencil to add to the notes.
hand trowel / handschep (I will have a couple to share if you forget or don’t have one).

Cost: 15 Euro per personPayable in advance
Please email urban.herbology.lynn@gmail.com and you will receive the bank details for payment. When payment is received your place is booked.
