PROGRAMME
Come to Sclerder Abbey to explore Seasonal Ecology for you to practice at home:
As winter approaches how can we act in harmony with the season and imitate Nature’s processes?
- Seasonal planting: God created useful plants for every season: Explore Seasonal sowing, planting and growing outside or in the greenhouse.
- Each season provides its produce. Winter vegetables, and also unripe but edible produce from harvest: Learn and discuss tasty recipes for Seasonal cooking in Autumn and Winter.
- And God created compost. It’s time to think of creating ‘good soil’ and preparing for next year’s sowing and growing: Different types of compost and other soil improvement tips.
We will start at 9am with a warming mug of tea or coffee and introduction to the Seasonal theme. Then a choice of practical workshops on the topics above. Ending with worship and prayer, and lunch including seasonal produce from the Green Abbey garden. The programme will end at 2pm.
