About
For 2 hours, your guide will help you discover the spontaneous flora of the Tropical Agronomy Garden and the Bois de Vincennes from the perspective of their edibility. You will be introduced to identifying wild plants that have culinary, nutritional, or medicinal value.
Poisonous plants will also be identified so as not to trivialize wild harvesting and the risks it can pose if done carelessly.
The rules of harvesting will be explained to ensure everyone's safety and the preservation of natural spaces.
Depending on the season, several plants will be presented by your guide, who will lead you to points of interest they have identified. However, they may also follow the group's curiosity. So don't hesitate to ask them all your questions!
Please note: in the event of high winds, the tour may be canceled for safety reasons.
