Biodynamic Workshops
All families and individuals are warmly invited to a day of hands-on learning and connection with the land at Newcastle Waldorf School. We will be learning about soil preparations, PH-balancing fertilisers, and ways of working with the weeds and the land to enhance the health of the soil and the produce we grow.
Sunday 26 July
Participants will learn biodynamic principles and preparations that can be applied to any environment, from pots on a balcony to a production farm, all while enjoying a day out in the countryside and meeting new friends.
