De Culinaire Carrousel in the Gillisbos

Come and enjoy the taste, scents, and colors of this autumnal month of October in the food forest. Minne De guardian will spoil your taste buds with what the forest has to offer this season. En Matthias will take you on a tour of his food forest. Together with other gourmets, you will learn to know the taste of what the food forest has to offer in the month of October. The snacks are accompanied by wine, water, and fruit juice. Minne De Wachter is herself the driving force behind a food forest. She processes the harvest through fermentation and various preparation techniques into pure, plant-based dishes. She will spoil your taste buds with the late summer taste of the food forest: "In October, mushrooms and walnuts follow — darker, richer, and deeper in character, with a quiet connection between earth, water, and wood." Het Gillisbos is a project of Matthias and his family who wanted to live in a different way and feed themselves. They share this young food forest with everyone with a positive mindset. Matthias gives you a tour and tells the story of the food forest elements in the Gillisbos: what was their motivation to start this project with their family? What was the approach at the start of the food forest? How did they start? How did they choose the right species? What tips do they have for starting food foresters? o Easily accessible on foot or by bike via the cycle path Mechelen-Terneuzen. o If you do come by car, you can park at GC De Route, Stationstraat 201 and then walk 800 meters towards Sint-Niklaas. o Less mobile people can also park in the Aststraat. o There is no car parking on the site. Registration is necessary and is possible until September 28.
