During this spring outing dedicated to edible and medicinal wild plants, we'll be exploring the verdant meadows of the La Sarraz region. Spring, with its tender young shoots, is the ideal time to harvest fresh leaves, perfect for eating in salads or incorporating into a variety of cooked dishes.

Practical advice and tips will help you find these plants on future walks. Each species will be presented with an emphasis on its culinary, nutritional and medicinal virtues, offering an in-depth understanding of their usefulness and place in diet and well-being.
You'll also learn how to recognize some of the season's poisonous plants, so you can pick in complete safety.
It's also an opportunity to observe nature in all its detail, and marvel at the treasures it reveals. An enriching experience, conducive to strengthening the bond with nature and savoring the beauty of spring.
