with Dr Sue Peat and Douglas Davidson 

Biodynamics 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 will be early autumn, so we will focus on sharing seasonal tips for ‘extending’ the season, harvesting and preserving. We will also share the results of some research into biodynamics, which really shows the benefit that it can bring to our soil and food crops. 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, street trees or house plants an autumn treat!

Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience in biodynamic gardening.  

All are welcome, no need to book.
