About me
Hi, I’m Roos Konings – plant enthusiast, ecologist, and foraging guide near Breda.
Ever since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by the natural world, filling my pockets with plants, mosses, and branches, exploring every corner of the outdoors. After traveling for a few years, I studied Plant Sciences at university, but I soon realized my true calling was working directly with nature. I began working on an organic farm, where I learned to see the world as a living garden and deepened my understanding of ecosystems as a farmer, ecologist, gardener, and hobby beekeeper.
In 2016, I started teaching nature skills and leading foraging hikes, inspired by my travels in South America and a desire to reconnect people with the wild side of life. My mission is to offer practical, enjoyable ways to engage with the natural world—helping to tackle modern challenges like burnout, environmental degradation, and species loss—while showing that wild plants can be a source of nourishment, inspiration, and joy.
Through my work, I aim to help people feel healthier, happier, and more energized, while fostering respect for and protection of our natural resources.
As a passionate foraging guide and dedicated plant enthusiast, my goal is to share my knowledge and expertise with people who are as crazy as I am about food and plants. I want to bring back the wild in ourselves and our environment. Moreover, my goal is to bring people together and make them feel happy and reconnected.
My dream is to have a Foraging Farm where we grow nutritious foods, like wild rice and cattails. Here I would love to work with people with a labout market disadvantage. It may seem like something ‘hippie’ or idealistic, but we have been doing this for thousands of years.
So, let’s get together en get wild!
we have been doing this for thousands of years."
