Weleda would like to invite you to thier biodynamic preparation day at The Field (the Weleda gardens)
It’s a day for BD people in the Midlands and beyond to connect– new and old – all are welcome – and to talk preparations and biodynamics.

We’ll be digging up the horns and other preps, process them, make the yarrow prep. For anyone who is interested in learning more about the biodynamic preparations or how other farms and gardens make and use them, share experiences, this is the day to join 😊   We’ll also do a horn manure stir, do an ink water vortex demo to show how it works and why we need to create a vortex and chaos when stirring the preps.

There will be a compost heap in the making with our preps – for people who want to dig deeper into composting matters 😊

We’ll have a vegetarian potluck lunch. Please bring a dish to share, cutlery and a mug. Don’t panic if you’re not one to cook – bread and cheese, dips and veg, salad, anything goes. Just join in.

We’ll also run a biodynamic Q&A session – bring your questions – there will be lots of experienced BD practitioners on-site who are happy to share their wealth of experience.

Just a bit of housekeeping:

• Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate any dogs on-site to protect our wildlife.
• Parking – Our grassy area is still very soggy and parking is not possible directly on-site. However, there is ample free parking on Pit Lane. Only a 5 minute walk. I have attached a screenshot for directions.
• The ground is uneven and at the moment very muddy. Please wear boots or wellies.

If you’re planning on coming, please let us know so we have a rough idea on numbers  Email me on  [email protected]

Any questions, give us a shout.    Let’s hope for a nice day 🌞  Jen
