Green Ass Garden Workshop:
Making wild remedies
From the indigenous plants growing in Green Ass Garden at the spot we can make healing ointments and tinctures.
In this skill sharing you will find out how to get a bit more independent from big pharma by making your own herbal medicine for minor health issues.
This workshop is organised for UVA students but there are few spaces left for other interested: reservation needed. We ask a donation for material costs of 5 euro's
-UPDATE- You can no longer register for this workshop(!)
The gardens of Het Groene Veld
Green Ass Garden consists of three spaces with different functions:
In the Vegetable garden with the Geodesic Dome as a greenhouse, we grow more rare veggies from different cultures from seed. In development is the pigment or dyeplant bed. Edible wild plants can be found all over the garden and are growing around the little pond.
In the Food Forest border, wild medicinal plants are growing together in groups which offer similar health benefits. Also edible shrubs, trees and mushrooms live together. Partly the mushrooms can clean polluted soil all over the Slibvelden. A sensory bed with crazy tastes, structures and looks is in development.
On Het Groene Veld, the area around the water basins is developing as an edible park landscape. On raised beds, veggies for the Machine Gebouw kitchen are grown and edible shrubs and trees are planted as well as "rescued" ornamental plants who find a new home here.
In all of the areas, we play together with the existing ecology of the land. We also love the wonder and surprise in sustainable experiments and green arts.
Skill sharing workshops happen mostly in the summer months and will be announced in the agenda.
