Hello All,

from 11.-19.6. we will be opening our forest garden gates for those of you who are interested in working with us, learning together, eating, laughing… and anything else you want to contribute such as playing music and games, telling jokes or stories or giving workshops…?

There will be activities such as weeding, watering, fertilizing, keeping competing wild shrubs down, harvesting sweet cherries and maybe black currants, gathering wild herbs, mulching, scything and so on. 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 (when the fat powerbank is empty 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 you have to register.
You can also participate for part of the time. We charge a
registration deposit that will be refunded.
* Your own bike or car would be an advantage to get from the
station/town to the forest garden (~7km).
* 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.

apparently is sharpish rocks that voles don't like to dig through. But still needs an overground barrier.

in Germany people try the same method with cheap normal 8-16mm-gravel-layers, which are 15cm thick.webpage

We have a winter gathering from 10. to 18.12.’24. Everyone who already knows the project or wants to get to know it is invited.

One task for this camp is to remove wild woody plants, like blackthorns, hazel, oak and birch, the loong fence wants to be mended, we need to make the vegetable patch mouse-proved (by putting gravel underneath it), and there are some smaller tasks too.
Besides the work there is especially during these long evenings space for talks, music, games, etc.

The food is vegan and we cook for ourselves. It is winter so we don’t camp in the garden but sleep in heated rooms, in the Ökozentrum (Artilleriestraße 6 in Verden).

If you are interested, here is some important information:

* It is possible to come for the whole or part of the event. There are only a limited number of places, so we’ll ask you to pay a deposit to confirm your participation and save you a spot. This will be refunded.

*You need a car or a bike to make the ca 5km to the forestgarden. You need to bring your own weatherproof workcothes.

* The gathering is a pro-feminist space. Everyone should be able to feel good on the camp and so should be save from violations of their personal space. Everyone should be able to tinker with their own identity and shouldn’t be pushed into a certain one. So macho-behavior and homophobia would be out of place. For these things everybody should take responsibility.
