Description
How can a garden operate within the principles of the circular economy? Can green waste become a valuable resource? These questions will be addressed in an open workshop for Racibórz residents, organised by eco-manager Zuzanna Poprawka and hosted by Elżbieta Skrzymowska, an expert in ecological gardening.
This interactive workshop will teach participants how to implement zero waste principles in gardening, minimising waste while efficiently using natural resources. Circular gardening is not just about sustainable cultivation, it also leads to financial and environmental savings.
Key workshop themes:
- Permaculture beds – a closed-loop garden
Participants will collaborate to set up a demonstration permaculture bed, showcasing how to layer organic materials to create fertile soil without chemical fertilisers. They will learn about soil health, biodiversity, and natural composting methods to establish a self-sustaining gardening system. - Zero waste in gardening – how to manage green waste?
This session will explore methods for repurposing plant waste, from composting to making homemade fertilisers and mulches. Participants will also learn eco-friendly soil care techniques and discover how to conserve water efficiently in gardening. - Plant propagation – growing a garden without extra costs
The workshop will demonstrate natural plant propagation techniques, reducing the need to purchase new plants. Participants will learn how to collect cuttings, divide perennials, and grow plants from seeds, making gardening more sustainable and resource-efficient.
How gardening affects air quality
Sustainable gardening not only reduces waste but also improves air quality. Proper organic waste management and reducing chemical pesticides and fertilisers help limit harmful emissions. Additionally, plants absorb CO₂ and pollutants, playing a crucial role in enhancing local air quality and the microclimate.
'The circular garden' is a practical environmental lesson, showing that every garden can function within the circular economy model, reducing waste while making the most of natural resources in a sustainable way.
This event is organised as part of the LIFE project 'Silesia. Blue Sky Restored.'
