Wild food workshop with Katja Rebolj
start of the workshop: garden of the old sanatorium, Tyrševa ulica 19
end of the workshop: forest next to the city park
In this workshop we will learn about wild plants that can be used as wild food in our daily diet or as medicinal plants for various medical conditions. We will collect and taste the plants in the field and serve ourselves a traveller’s wild snack from a basket. The aim of the workshop is for each participant, regardless of their background, to learn some new plants that they can use in their own kitchen and for their own health. We know that wild plants are known for their mineral content, vitamins and various nutrients that are essential for our bodies. However, as there are also plants that can harm us, special care is needed.
– Dress for the terrain, a pick-up bag or basket will come in handy.
– If you have a plant around your home and want to check its edibility and healing properties, bring it with you to the workshop.
– The workshop takes place in all weathers, please dress accordingly in case of rain.
