For thousands of years, gardeners and farmers have looked to the moon
for guidance on when to plant, harvest, and prune. In this fascinating introductory
workshop, participants will explore the time-honored practice of gardening
by the moon and discover how lunar phases may influence plant growth,
moisture, and garden productivity. Whether you're an experienced gardener or
just beginning your growing journey, this workshop offers practical knowledge
and inspiration to bring greater intention and rhythm to your gardening practice.
During this informative and hands-on workshop, participants will learn the
foundational concepts behind lunar gardening and biodynamic growing methods.
You’ll explore how gardeners use moon phases to guide planting and harvesting
decisions, discuss the science and traditions behind these practices, and gain
practical tips you can apply in your own garden.
Each participant will also receive take-home materials about
gardening by the moon along with a packet of moonflower
seeds to plant at home.
