Join me on a stroll through one of Berlin's most beautiful parks. And be surprised by how many dye plants we'll be able to find! Enjoy a few hours with fresh air, with birds singing, under old trees and amongst summer flowers.
You will learn about a variety of local dye plants, and stories about their (and our) history and various uses. Hear about traditions and plants that provide for us in so many ways.
This tour will be in German, questions can be answered in English. You can book this tour individually in English, too! Get in touch, whether you're looking to schedule an individual tour of for a small group.
