Wild edible plants walk

All the events on this page are open to the public off-campus.

Wild plants that are edible to humans can be found in most environments, including urbanised ones such as our campus. Their edibility is a forgotten tradition that has become a science that is still little studied.

Grab a notebook and a pencil and let’s go and learn how to recognise these plants. You’ll see them everywhere afterwards!

If it’s raining, there’s even a sheltered route option, so no need to cancel! I’ll send you an email with the meeting place in that case.

At the end of each month, the walks for the following month will appear, all year round.
