Online & In-person Herbology Course - Urban Foraging - Herbs - City Nature For around 20 years, I have been working with herbs. My own mentor is Glennie Kindred.

Join me for fascinating herb walks in Amsterdam, mentoring sessions, workshops or a year long apprenticeship through online study and gatherings. I have studied herbalism (non-clinical) in the UK, also with American wise woman Susun Weed, studied Permaculture with Patrick Whitefield and gained my PDC from Permaculture Visions. I am a member of the Dutch Gilde van Wildplukkers. I strongly favour and recommend nourishing/tonic and perennial herbs above others and recommend that you seek expert advice before trying to treat any problem with herbs. I only harvest what I am absolutely certain of and advise anyone else trying it to do the same. Let me empower you to work deeply with the plants which grow around you.

Birthday waffles this morning!

My daughter and I are celebrating together again today. Between us, 70 years on this beautiful, generous planet. Feeling very grateful for managing that and for the people and plants around us.

I made a bilberry chocolate-mint syrup to drizzle over the waffles, using what I had and what the spring is already offering. Chocolate mint is the best! So something simple, a little wild, and made with love.

These are the kind of moments that I really appreciate… working with what’s around me, noticing, creating, sharing. Knowing it's not perfect, and taking time to enjoy.

Thank you for being here, for your interest in my work and occasional ramblings, and for walking alongside in your own way.

You will NOT believe this is kombucha… 👀

That thick, slightly scary overwintered SCOBY? Yesterday I turned it into a soft, sweet, chewy treat 😍 Zero waste, full of life, herbal goodness, and absolutely delicious.

This is exactly the kind of magic we explore inside my Urban Herbology Apprenticeship—seeing potential where others don’t, and learning to work with nature in creative, nourishing ways 🌿

✨ A new cohort starts this weekend
✨ Recipe + full process inside the course
✨ Next in-person workshop: April 22nd (you can come taste this for yourself 👀)

If you’ve been curious about fermentation, foraging, herbal crafting, and living more closely with nature—even in the city—this is your moment.

Controlling the suburban goose population, the responsible way! Yesterday a bunch of us headed 30 minutes out of Amsterdam with to gather wild Goose eggs. The local population near here (so near Schiphol airport) has grown exponentially, and sensitive management is needed. Rather than other methods, we boated around the area looking for brooding Geese. We stealthily raided each nest, leaving one egg for the parent to raise. Of course we avoided disturbing habitats – no nests destroyed, no Geese killed, and we enjoyed the sunshine. This is a careful and effective way to help keep numbers in balance.

This small step is part of our WildBiome 2026 journey, where we explore how locally foraged food affects us. Can it healthily feed us and support urban ecology? We'll be doing the WildBiome month again this September!

Last year, I didn't prep much in advance, craved root vegetables by the end, but felt really great, really great. PFAS entered the media attention and questions were raised. What will this time bring?

Follow along to see the slow and hopefully steady preparation develops, and how we live entirely on foraged food for a month. For now - Every egg counts!

What an evening in Nijmegen. Exceptional dining - On plants - Lots of plants! Shown is just a hint at what Mr deG and I enjoyed last night. The restaurant team lift concepts and phytochemicals to heavenly heights. Every sight, scent, touch, crunch, and mouthful was pure pleasure.

We'll certainly be back. I'll certainly work through the cookbook (may take a lifetime). You'll hopefully try their creations too.

Oh what a flavourful weekend has been had! A little photo dump from . The best taste in the world is surely cacao - it is like a medicine to me and maybe for you too!?

Learned and tasted so much at the festival. Enjoyed masterclasses from Tanquaray Rum and, tastings and met other chocolate lovers.

Brought plenty home to experiment with. Herby-choctail-plans afoot!
