Waltham Place – Biodynamic by nature

What’s on at Waltham Place
With Courses, Walks and Special Interest Events running throughout the year there are plenty of opportunities to join us here at Waltham Place. Whether you wish to take a walk around the gardens, experience the seasonal highlights, learn about the wildlife or master a new skill, we will be happy to welcome you.

Special Events to celebrate 100 years of biodynamic agriculture at Waltham Place
Waltham Place will host a cycle of events to celebrate the achievements of biodynamic agriculture and inspire others to join us for the next 100 years. The world currently faces many challenges, with systems not fit for the future; the planet and its people are getting sicker.  Biodynamics offers a holistic approach that has been tried and tested across the globe.

With workshops, courses and talks being led by Andre Tranquilini and the Waltham Place team, and guest speakers from the biodynamic world, including Jean-Michel Florin, this promises to be a year of great opportunity and learning. We hope you can join us.
