Hello! My name is Iulia and I recently moved to Amsterdam Zuid, in a quite gentrified neighbourhood. Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark are just around the corner, however I know that foraging is not really allowed in Vondelpark. I haven’t yet tried Rembrandtpark as I could not recognise most of the herbs. However there are also some interesting nooks and corners in the neighbourhood which have little community gardens. green corners which I am yet to explore. I also have the luxury of a bit of green space in my backyard, which allows me to interact with some plants and many bugs. Looking forward to this spring and learning more about my surrounding area!
