A! Walk-Wild edibles
Spring is here, plants are starting to grow and bloom. The first walk of 'A! walk' started with meeting those newborn plants...
Spring has sprung at Aalto University, turning the campus into a vibrant green space. The first themed A! Walk kicked off on this bright, sunny afternoon. Led by 30 nature-fever participants set out on their 'Wild Edibles Walk' to explore the natural treats around them. As they walked the familiar paths and chatted with friends, they relaxed and enjoyed the fresh air.
They learned about four kinds of wild edibles growing right by the paths—plants that many had seen but never thought of as food. Discovering these could be used in salads was a fun surprise for everyone. This walk was not just a chance to learn about edible plants, but also a way to see their everyday surroundings in a new light.
