An Introduction to Gardening the Biodynamic Way, Sunday 27 October 2pm-5pm, London

October 27 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

with Dr Sue Peat and Douglas Davidson

Venue: Rudolf Steiner House, 35 Park Rd, London NX
All welcome, no need to book.
Cost: Full £10 / Concession £5

Biodynamics is an organic method of cultivation arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research.
It was his response to questions from farmers who were unhappy with ‘chemical’ agriculture.
Biodynamics works with the rhythms of the  movements of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars,
to which the plants respond.

The workshop will  cover the background of the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It’s autumn so we will focus on sharing tips for harvesting, composting and preparing your garden for winter. For the last hour, we’ll stir the horn manure preparation (known as 500), so bring an empty screw top bottle if you would like to take some home. A 500ml bottle is enough for an average
garden.

The workshop is suitable for those new to biodynamics and for anyone who would like to give their garden, window boxes or house plants an autumn treat!

Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience of biodynamic gardening.
