14 years ago, I moved from a design office to rural Minho. My passion for wild plants led me to study and share their benefits and uses. Through workshops, field trips, and cooking sessions, I invite you to explore local wild plants.

Highly recommend anyone who wants to spend a few hours in a wonderful rural setting to take part in Rita's experience.
The walk around the grounds, discovering the plants was very fun and rewarding.. we know so much more now about what is around us.
The lunch was also super great, tasty and fresh. A real highlight!

It was a very enriching experience that Rita permeated us today, to me and my husband. We made the discovery of a beautiful and magical place and a host that even more beautify the place. Many thanks to you for this moment of commune, and for your transmission.
We were fortunate enough to taste the kitchen too, and it was a real treat.
Merci pour tout and I'll see you soon Rita.
