Discover  the true nature of the herbal preparations used in biodynamic gardening and farming and their benefits to the compost heap, soil and plants.

“We tend to look at the beings of nature – the  minerals, plants, and animals (…) – as if they stood there in isolation. We’re in the habit of looking at a plant all by itself; then we go on to look at a plant species all by itself, and then at another species next to it. Everything we’re supposed to know about these things is neatly pigeonholed into separate species and genera. But that is not how things are in nature. In
nature, and actually throughout the universe, everything is in mutual interaction with everything else.”
Rudolf Steiner (initiator of biodynamics) 1924

About the workshop
The biodynamic compost preparations are uniquely fermented natural remedies that will increase soil microbial populations, vitalise plant growth and harmonise life processes.

In this workshop you will be taken on a journey of discovery revealing the true nature of the herbal preparations and their benefits to the compost heap, soil and plants. By using the methods of Goethean science we will study these herbs in a living way and then be able to apply the preparations to a ready-made compost heap.

This workshop is led by Michael Bate and Martin Bradshaw.
Michael is a former head grower at Weleda herb garden, Ilkeston and has 30 years
experience of leading workshops.   Martin is manager and head grower at Moss Valley Market Garden.
