Welcome on a mini webcourse on edible wild plants (horta) by Jouko Kivimetsä
Foraging wild plants, horta hunting (horta is the Greek name for wild leafy greens used like lettuce) is an exciting hobby and a holistic lifestyle, really. I myself have been doing it from the 90’s and still I am so excited about it. I have been doing and teaching horta walks in many countries, especially in Finland and Crete, over 20 years. There are now over a hundred professional horta guides in Finland for this purpose, to make it a basic thing of human civilization.
And now you can start, with simple babysteps, your never ending journey to the wonderful world of nutrition treasures offered by Mother Earth. Look at the videos on the following tabs (Part 1-4) and take them with you in nature to feel more secure of the plants, especially if you don't have anyone experienced horta expert with you. Which is always the best choice.
