Wild plants are those that grow spontaneously in the region where they evolved.
They form the ecological foundation on which all life depends, animals and people included, and play a fundamental part in regenerating natural life and keeping ecosystems in balance, both within cities and on farmland – and they also have socio-economic value, both for the uses they offer, in medicines, dyes and fibres among others, and for their place in the human diet.
The visit takes place in the garden, regardless of weather conditions, so participants should wear appropriate clothing and footwear. The activity will only be canceled in the event of extreme weather conditions.
