The Elysia Biodynamic Garden will be opened on Saturday 21st July from 10am to 5pm at Garden Organic Ryton.It will be the first garden, anywhere, to be created under biodynamic principles that is accessible to the public. Tours will be starting at 11.30am and 2.30pm. There will also be a demonstration of water stirring used to energise the garden as well as lunar-themed children's activities.
Biodynamics is the belief that the healthiest growing system can only develop when all the forces of nature are working in harmony. Sowing, planting and harvesting are carried out to coincide with lunar cycles, and the soil and compost used in the garden are energised using special plant extracts following biodynamic preparations.
Bob Sherman, director of Gardens and Gardening at Garden Organic, said: "As we approach our 50th year of developing and promoting organic growing, we are absolutely thrilled to host the world's first public biodynamic garden, which introduces these exciting principles to the UK. It confirms us as the centre of excellence for cutting edge organic research and techniques."
