Natural Gardening Workshop

Woods invite you to an afternoon workshop focused on natural gardening, led by lecturer and creator of natural gardens Petra Formánková and natural gardener Jarmila Řezníčková. The practical workshop is intended for both advanced and beginners, children and adults and will introduce, for example, methods for mulching, companion planting, the use of biochar and general possibilities of applying permaculture principles in land care.

The workshop is part of a working weekend on the plot (Saturday, November 6 – Sunday, November 7), during which we will mulch trees, plant shrubs, cut grass and prepare a hayloft for goats. If you are also interested in participating in the brigade, we will pay for your accommodation in the Rubínek pension. Please email us at: les@are-events.org.
