Eat and grow with the seasons, for health and flavour

30 – 31 May 2026

Den Gamle By’s gardeners and cooks invite you into the gardens for a weekend exploring the connection between food and plants.

Gain insight into how Den Gamle By’s cooks and gardeners work together to grow and use historical vegetables and herbs in the kitchen – and about how to create decorative arrangements for the table.

In the tent at the Festival Grounds, you can take part in a range of activities that engage the senses and offer a chance to learn more about both historical and modern collaborations in propagation, preservation, and the forgotten world of bitter flavours.

Tasting session – discover the difference

Join a tasting of heritage and modern varieties – and taste the difference for yourself.

Microgreens and growing on your windowsill

Learn how to use sprouts, roots, leaves and everything in between in your cooking – and how to grow your own on a windowsill, in a balcony planter or in your garden.

Get to know your soil – hands-on

We dig in, smell the soil and explore what it contains. Pick up simple tips on how to understand your soil and restore it – for the benefit of the climate, biodiversity and public health.
