Let’s trip into the wildernis …

What is growing there? The power of wild herbs ♥

Today I was booked again for a herb walk by the VHS in Kropp.

At the meeting point there were also already familiar faces, which I find really nice.

All participants were very kind and this time there were also two small children and even a baby. ♥

As always, we were very lucky with the weather and it was a varied and very beautiful hike.

The children were looking forward to seeing the many frogs at the lake, which unfortunately could only be heard, but there was still a lot to discover there.

We have found and discussed e.g.

  • Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata)
  • Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)
  • Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica)
  • Cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris)
  • Common agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria)
  • Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon (Tragopogon pratensis)
  • Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
  • Water mint (Mentha aquatica)
  • St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum)
  • Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
  • Wild carrot (Daucus carota)
  • Ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata)
  • Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare)
  • and much more

In the clear water of the lake, besides water mint, you can also find stream fleas, mussels and snails ♥

At the end, of course, everyone got my plant and recipe folder for home again.

I would like to thank all participants and I am already looking forward to the next herb walks on 10 and 11 June

Today I also remembered to take a few photos ♥

Enchanting company event

ACO Group Germany

It was a very nice experience in every way ♥

Quite unexpectedly, I was booked by the ACO Group Germany for this great event in early spring.

So I was able to take 20 people from 6 different nations on a herbal walk in a beautiful place ♥

The communication took place in English and worked quite well, even if towards the end, one or the other term briefly slipped my mind.

A dear friend accompanied me and played driver, as I am not mobile at the moment. Thanks again for this.

At this event, in addition to countless delicacies, there were many different experiences for guests, such as

  • Owls and hawks of a falconry
  • Donkey hiking
  • Huskies
  • Fjord horses
  • Archery
  • Survival training and much more

Special thanks to the wonderful and very cordial company.

I am already looking forward to the next herb walk on 03 June 2023 ♥

Wow, what a wonderful herb hike 🙂

At 10 am we drove together to a beautiful nature area and explored the already abundantly growing medicinal herbs.

All the participants were totally great, mega sweet and already knew a lot.
Very exciting people, we stay in touch. Rarely have I felt so connected so quickly ♥

A special thanks to dear Karen Hoffmann, who took a few photos for me of her own accord, as I never actually get around to it or simply forget.
Thank you for being there too.
Feel free to drop by, Karen and Thorsten are doing very exciting things: Zeit-Oase: Edelsteine, Waldbaden, Reiki
