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. \nThere will be a compost heap in the making with our preps – for people who want to dig deeper into composting matters 😊 \nWe’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.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Gardening the Biodynamic Way: 18 February 2024 2pm-5pm\, London
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Rudolf Steiner House\,  35 Park Rd\, London NW1 6XT  https://rsh.anth.org.uk/\nWith Sue Peat and Douglas Davidson \nBiodynamics is an organic method of cultivation\, arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research. It 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 to the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It’s spring and so we will focus on sharing tips for sowing and growing food plants – from windowsill herbs to fruit trees. 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 a spring treat! \nSue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience of biodynamic gardening. \nAll welcome\, no need to book. £10/ £5 \n
