A fun and meditative learning experience. Agathas enthusiasm is infectious, her knowledge deep and her cooking is amazing!
I warmly recommend the “vilda ätliga växter” tour with Agata. The tour was well-organized and I learned a lot. Agata has a lot of knowledge about plants and how to process them for a delicious meal, which she was happy to share with me and other tour participants. The picknick at the end of the tour was the mind-blowing highlight, with creatively prepared, colorful, delicious food and drinks.
Tack för en informativ och spännande vilda ätliga växter-vandring, presenterat på ett inspirerande sätt. Det är fantastiskt att få veta att det växer så mycket ätbara anonyma växter så nära. Tack Agata för den goda picknicken ( även glutenfritt) och tack för recept!
Rekommenderas varmt!
Agata is incredibly knowledgeable and so generous in sharing her resources. A walk with her has definitely opened a door to a whole new world! I would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone.
Fantastiskt spännande berättelse om vilda ätliga växter med stor passion och massor av kunskap. Kan varmt rekommenderas!
En enorm källa av kunskap om ätliga vilda växter! Rekomenderas varmt!
Thanks for a really informative session today, Agata! We really feel that the Wild Edible Plant Walk was just enough information to make us excited about trying out a couple of plants, then finding out more later on. We’ll be recommending this to our friends!
Vi var på Meadow Lab’s evenemang. Det var en mycket trevlig och lärorik upptäcksfärd! Och det var en god och överraskande picknick vi fick som avslutning med små smakprov som Agata själv lagat till. Det här är något som jag tycker borde läggas in i grundskoleundervisningen!
