early summer camp at our forest garden near Verden, Germany

Hello All,

from May 17th to 25th we will be opening our forest garden gates for those of you who are interested in working with us, learning, eating, laughing… and anything else you want to contribute such as playing music and games, telling jokes or stories…?

There will be activities such as weeding, watering, fertilizing, containing competing wild shrubs, harvesting, gathering wild herbs, mulching, scything and so on. We will also spend a day at gourmet-gaertnerei.de. So there is something for everyone –  experienced gardeners as well as inexperienced, heart and soul gardeners, old acquaintances and new faces. There will also be plenty of room for exchange, discussion and hanging out together.

We will be camping in the forest garden – you have to bring your own tent and there is no wifi in the garden, hot water or real electricity (you will only find this in the town, which is 5km away).

The food is vegan and comes from the forest garden, dumpstered or purchased – if you have intolerances or allergies please write that on the registration. If you want something special, you have to bring it yourself or buy it in between.

Please note the following:

* There is only a limited number of places, so if you register you are expected to attend. You can also participate for part of the time. If you are interested, please send us your phone number (there will be another phone call for specific organizational details). We charge a registration deposit.

* Covid is unfortunately not over, therefore hygiene measures are implemented and adapted according to the incidence in the region

Here are some important points:

   a negative Corona test result is mandatory upon arrival.

   if you are on site for a longer period of time, we will ask you to take another quick test after four days (we will provide one)

   we ask you to observe the general hygiene rules and to keep your distance, even if it is outside

   Your own bike or car would be an advantage or you have to walk 8 km from the train station to the forest garden.

   You must bring your own weatherproof work clothes.

   The Waldgarten is a profeminist shelter where boundaries must be respected. Everyone should be able to express their own identities and not be forced into any. Likewise there is no room for homophobia and racism. We are all responsible for making sure this is a safe place where diversity is embraced.

   Unfortunately, the forest garden is not easily accessible , but if you let us know about any special needs, we will send you details.
