Of over 250,000 plant species on earth, about 30,000 are considered edible. Of these, only a few have made it onto the daily menus. Which plants end up on our plates most often? What are their distinguishing ingredients? Dr. Ehrentraud Bayer (former deputy director of the Botanical Garden) will illustrate the cultural history and botanical peculiarities of our food plants and treat you to small samples.

The following Saturday is dedicated to the diversity of useful plants on site in the Botanical Garden.
