What you will do

We'll guide you through the simple process of creating your own Japanese knotweed syrup. Once your syrup is simmering, get ready to transform it into three mouthwatering creations! We'll start crafting a refreshing glass of Japanese Knotweed Lemonade, followed by a bubbly Japanese Knotweed Soda, to finally cool down with a scoop of Japanese Knotweed Granita Ice Cream. Join us during our Japanese Knotweed Season and discover the magic of the knotweed plant!

Japanese Knotweed Season 2024

Every spring, Mediamatic organises a season around Japanese knotweed. Knotweed is a fast-growing plant known in Europe for being considered invasive. What many do not know, however, is that this plant species has a host of positive properties. During this season we will explore how to live in harmony with this controversial plant.
