Wild plants that are edible to humans can be found in most environments, including urbanised ones such as our campus. Their edibility is a forgotten tradition that has become a science that is still little studied.
Grab a notebook and a pencil and let’s go and learn how to recognise these plants. You’ll see them everywhere afterwards!
If it’s raining, put on your k-ways: this is an all-weather event.

Other life events
Biomimicry walk on 23 April, 12 noon-1pm
Let’s discover how living systems can give us ideas for technologies, art, and many other things.
Meeting point : South-West angle of the SwissTech Convention Center (angle “EPFL” side x “Ecublens hill” side).
The walk should finish around the Amphipôle building (UNIL).
Would you like to help plant more flowers on campus (mid/late April)?
Work is underway at several EPFL sites to encourage biodiversity. We invite you to come and plant an area specifically for wild bees between mid and late April.
Leave your email address at the following link to let us know if you would like to take part. We’ll let you know when the date has been set by the nursery that supplies us, as the plants need to be planted very quickly once on site.
