The “Wild Gifts” workshop exceeded my expectations. We were a group of just three people; everything was perfectly prepared and the schedule was well-planned, so that by the end of the class, all of our “wild gifts” were finished. We had plenty of time to follow all the steps, and our individual questions were answered promptly and in detail.
Everyone was involved in the process, and we had a lot of fun. By the end, we had five very different products: fruit vinegar, pesto, medicinal wine, a sweet treat, and a body butter. To top it all off, we received beautiful, lovingly selected packaging for our gifts.
In between, we were treated to a delicious wild herb quark, which we were able to enjoy together in a relaxed
atmosphere.
I received the handout that very same evening.
Thank you so much for the wonderful afternoon. I’m already looking forward to the next workshop

I’m sooo glad that you joined us twice, that you enjoyed both tours, and that—even though you weren’t a complete beginner when it comes to wild plants—you were still able to learn a lot of new things and put them to good use 💚 The solubility thing is never quite that simple—it’s a whole philosophy in itself. You really do have to pay close attention to what you’re after, and ribwort plantain is especially tricky in that regard ;-) For example, the mucilage dissolves well in water or honey, but if you’re more interested in the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial compound aucubin, you’ll need alcohol instead ;-) I’m so glad that tip helped you 😍 Thank you so much for joining us—I really enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again soon!
