You step off the bus and the city noise thins: grasslands and a patchwork of scrubby oak groves open up, the air carrying the sharp, green scent of crushed nettle and mint. A local herbalist meets you with a basket and a straightforward rulebook — look, smell, taste cautiously — and leads the group along an old field edge where dandelion rosettes and sorrel push through sandy soil.
