Malmö - Edible and Medicinal Plants Guided Walk
A walk through the Castle gardens to explore the edible and medicinal plants in the cultivated gardens as well as in the forest.
About this event
We will explore the plants and the trees, (and fungi too if we find any), from an edible, medicinal and ecological perspective.
As an example, we could look at how Birch leaves can used as a salad vegetable or steeped in hot water to make a medicinal tea. We could talk about how to tap the tree for sap and how the bark was used by the Saami used to treat wounds, and why from a medical and pharmaceutical persepective that makes clinical sense!!
We could also talk about how Birch trees colonise bare land as 'pioneer' species to re-forest the land after a major disturbance.
Please join for a unique blend of disciplines coming together to celebrate the beauty of Nature
