Biodynamics – Principles and Practice for Gardeners and Growers
(1 day workshop, Damson farm, Bath – Friday 15th November 2024)
This workshop will introduce you to the history and key principles of biodynamics, as well as practical ways in which this nourishing and healthful approach to growing can be applied directly to your own land.
We will begin by looking at the principles that underpin biodynamics – its values and philosophies – as well as the way these principles are applied in a practical way.
