Nettle Hunt

We are planning a nettle-hunt and a wild-edible plant scavenger hunt in Kreis 5. Wild-edible plant lovers will tell us all about these edible delicacies we can find outside our doorstep. Startingpoint is at Faircustomer (Schiffbaustrasse 9a, 8005 Zürich) between 17.00 und 18:30. From there the induvidal scavengerhunt will take place all the way to the GZ Wipkingen. Duration approx. 30-40min. End of the Scavenger hunt is at 19.00.
An experience trail is marking edible nature in the city and invites you to discover the stinging nettle and other edible plants. Markers with tips, tricks and tasks will lead from station to station. A beautiful booklets leads you through Kreis 5 and explains you everything worth knowing about the stinging nettle, how to harvest it without gloves and how you can turn it into “sweets”. You will also learn to make syrup made from nettle leaves and admire shoes made from nettle fibres.
The nettle is considered particularly healthy because of its extraordinary richness in nutrients. It contains vitamins A, B2, B5, B9 (folic acid), C, D, E and K as well as a wealth of minerals and trace elements, especially calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and silicon, as well as copper, manganese, sulphur, selenium and zinc. Incidentally, calcium and magnesium are present in the nettle in a ratio that is ideal for bone metabolism.
The event only takes place during nice weather or light rain, but will be cancelled with heavy rain, thunderstorms or hail. Please check our website shortly before the event if the weather is unstable.

During 20 years spent in the service of socio-cultural, environmental and humanitarian NGOs, Jérémie Pichon made the sad observation of a system based on overconsumption, devastating for humans and his environment.
In 2014, they decided to embark on a Zero Waste challenge as a family. In three years, they went from 390 KG of waste to 1kg, i.e. one jar per year, and discovered a new way of life.
During his conference, Jérémie Pichon tells with humour how their adventure was conducted. Above all, he describes the enormous and unsuspected benefits they have gained from such a change. Because by eliminating their trash, they are finally attacking the system and designing a sustainable, sober and happy way of life. During his lecture, he also addresses the individual ecological footprint and the state of the world: resource depletion, climate change and biodiversity.

18:00 – 20:00: conference
