The second local workshop took place 17 May 2014 at the community garden Querbeet in Leipzig. The oecotrophologist Kirsten Sülzle informed about wild herbs that can be used in cooking. During a walk in the garden and its surroundings she showed different wild herbs and gave recommendations what to consider when harvesting ground-ivy, nettles, ground-elder, dandelion, plantain, yarrow and other wild herbs. After explaining the characteristics, the participants could choose herbs for a tea and besides taste some creams and relishes with wild herbs that Kirsten prepared for the group. Again, also recipes from the partner countries were distributed and Martin and Sabine from wisamar gave some insights into the use of one or the other herb in other countries, so that the European dimension of this topic was emphasized.
