Field workshops for the urban community & educational modules for schools

Fancy a vegetable experience? With fun, ease and the right mix of theory and practice, experienced gardeners and environmental educators impart interesting facts about organic vegetable cultivation: from correct sowing and environmentally friendly care during the field season to glorious harvests.

Sustainability and climate protection are brought to life in a practical way, connections to agriculture are shown and tips for everyday life are given.

Everything is available for the workshops and anyone can take part - with or without previous knowledge: There is plenty of room for questions and time to talk shop!

You can find detailed information about the project and the school mornings in the fieldhere. We will be happy to send you our (non-accessible) project brochure.
