Hey Marisa and everybody! I live in Oost, more or less between the Oosterpark and park Frankendael. For foraging, I mainly go to park Frankendael (and the orchards of course) as this seems to be the cleanest place around here. Oosterpark is usually much more packed with people and there’s not so much ‘free nature growing space’ there, have never foraged anything from there. Then there’s Flevopark, but since the soil and water there are polluted (supposedly not in the top layer of the soil but I’m a bit suspicious..) I don’t forage there for edible/medicinal purposes.
I didn’t really know that foraging is not actually legal here until I started this unit, haha, although I do remember a story of a friend of mine who got a fine for taking some reed stalks from some nature area… Don’t believe people usually get into a lot of trouble though…
