  • From meadow to plate

    Two practical workshops on edible wild herbs in grassland

    In spring, grasslands are full of valuable, edible plants – often overlooked, but rich in flavor and nutrients.
    the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein invites you to two coordinated workshops that will impart this knowledge in a practical way: from identification and use to preservation.
