Discover Edible & Medicinal Plants in Amsterdam
Curious about which wild plants are edible or medicinal in Amsterdam right now? Want to learn how to add free, nutritious plants to your diet, support your microbiome, and avoid the poisonous ones?
Join me for a relaxed foraging walk through Park Frankendael, where I’ll show you what’s growing this season and how to:

• Identify tasty and nourishing wild plants
• Harvest them safely and ethically
• Use them for food, medicine, and wellbeing

Along the way, you’ll also enjoy freshly brewed herbal tea from wild finds and take home a handout to help you remember what you’ve learned.

### About Me

I’m Lynn Shore, a Medical Herbalist with 15 years of experience teaching urban foraging and running Amsterdam’s city foraging garden. I’m a member of the Association of Foragers, trustee of The Herb Society, and this autumn my new book The Green City Witch will be published.
I’ve worked with everyone from community groups to Greenpeace, top bartenders, and eco-restaurants. In April 2025, I joined the WildBiome project, living only on wild local food for a month to study its effects on the body—it was eye-opening!
My background includes a Master of Public Health in Urban Food Security, and my passion is helping people connect with nature for better health, wellbeing, and a greener city.

This walk is in English (I also speak Dutch).

Craft your own hand-bound book for spells, dreams, nature lore, and witchy notes. Using sustainable and magical materials, you’ll create a unique grimoire to take home — plus the know-how to make more.
Join me at my home to create hand-bound books for spells, dreams, nature lore, or your other witchy notes. Using old, recycled, handmade, repurposed, and natural materials, we’ll select, snip, glue, and stitch our unique grimoires.

A grimoire is more than just a notebook – it’s a living companion for your magical practice, herbal knowledge, seasonal wisdom, and spiritual growth. Whether you fill yours with spells, dreams, or rituals, it becomes a reflection of your path.

In this hands-on workshop you’ll learn simple bookbinding techniques using eco-conscious, local, herbal, and magical materials. No prior experience is needed. You’ll leave with your own handmade grimoire, a clear blueprint for creating more, and a complete tool kit to make as many more books as you like!

This is not only about making a book – it’s about weaving creativity into your craft, and deepening your relationship with your magic.
