Urban Foraging in Sydhavnstippen

Do you want to experience wild nature in the city? Not only experience it, but also taste it? Then join the urban foraging trip at CAFX at Sydhavnstippen on June 11th from 12-14. The foraging trip will be facilitated by Maria Natascha Koustrup Larsen, also known as 'Den hurtige sanker'.

On this trip you will get to know some of the tasty herbs, flowers and berries nature has to offer. In June there’s an abundance of delicious and beautiful plants, and on this day, you’ll get to know the do’s and don’ts, what to look for, what plants are edible and how you use it. We will hunt for plants such as horseradish, Mirabelle, yarrow and much more.

As a city dweller nature can feel like something you have to go far away to experience, but you don’t have to go out of the city to experience local ecologies and find flavorful resources. Learning how to utilize the nature we live in and next to in a sustainable way, only makes us closer to it – and by doing so, taking better care of it. Get inspired to go ‘shopping’ for food in nature in the future and get to know how you can utilize wild food in your own kitchen. We’ll end the trip with a small tasting of the plants that we find.  

Maria has been facilitating foraging workshops since 2018 and has among other events hosted ‘Wild Drinks’ workshops at Roskilde Festival. Her aim is to heighten our connection with nature through experiences by making foraging accessible to all, no matter your background or interest in nature with a careful approach. As a native Copenhagener it is an important part of her practice to show others how to take care of and use the nature in and around Copenhagen.
