Wooden plant stands and insect hotels! 🪵

With the self-made plant stands, you can put your houseplants in the limelight and the insect hotels should create shelters for important little helpers in your home. We have the materials and tools with us. - Instructions for the wooden plant stand workshop

Is your plant afraid of tying? 🐛

Don't worry! With the plastic forge, you can use the injection molding process to make clips from plastic waste to hold your ivy. - Plastic forge

An interactive walk to the "infiltration basin" pilot project 3-5 p.m. 🏃‍♂️

Dresden as a biodiverse sponge city - is that possible?

On this walk, we invite you to take a closer look at the city. We will explain what a sponge city is and show you our pilot project as an example of its implementation: an infiltration basin was built in Tannenstraße and specific planting was chosen to promote biodiversity. - BUND Dresden

Lecture BUND 17.30-18.30 hrs

Water storage in the soil with the methods of the permaculture sponge city in your own garden?

Katja Sonnig will report on the pilot project "Generation garden for species and climate protection" in the Laubenheim allotment garden and bring along illustrative material for implementation. You can also get tips for your own garden here! - BUND Dresden

Auction 7 pm 🪄

Surprise auction with Luis La Metta

Pascal Lopinat concert 8 pm 🎉

Pascal Lopinat tries to give the plant kingdom a voice. What does he have to tell us and how can we translate it? Between animism, noise performance and garden joke, the performance focuses on the plant as a spokesperson for its fellow species and the musician projects himself as a translator-experimenter of its essential message.

All day 🍾
