WYLDE, the podcast about foraging and herbalism in Europe

I'm Lieve Galle, a Belgian herbalist and wild plant forager since 2002 and host of the Wilde Wieven podcast (in Dutch).In this WYLDE Podcast I talk to fellow herbalists and foragers in Europe. We deal with different plant species and different cultural approaches towards plants, but what we have in common is that we all want to transform plant blindness into plant wisdom. Together we can have a greater impact on restoring the ancient link between people and plants. If you're ready to find out what you've never been told, but what your soul already knows, then welcome to WYLDE.
