I’ve often found that what is nowadays called science, does not explain many things I observe and wish to know more about. Such as understanding the state of health, as something more than absence of disease. There are a number of techniques I use in the garden, which originate from old and mostly forgotten knowledge.

Some are backed up by quantitative evidence, and others not. Largely because we do not yet have tools to measure many forms of energy. Especially in water, and that’s why I draw upon the teachings of Viktor Schauberger. I search for ways to draw more positive energy into my garden, to help my plant growth to be strong and abundant. I share them with you on this course day.

Curriculum

10.30pm to 4pm, includes lunch.

• As we tour round the garden I’ll discuss the properties of water and the devices I’m using on my hosepipes, to enhance its structure.
• We’ll look at other devices in the garden such as inserting five sticks to create an energy field of warmth all year, see the work of Tabraham.
• I explain my energy towers, based upon Ireland’s round towers.
• And many devices I am trying and have tried, to increase light levels for growth and health.
• Plus I look at the value of your own intent. How to use your desire for growth, to help your plants.

We start at 10.30am, so please arrive a little before, and we finish at around 4.00pm. The day includes lunch made from Charles’s vegetables, both stored and fresh from the garden.

Food is prepared by chefs including Anna Shepherd, Laura Price and Catherine Balaam – Catherine’s recipes are in the No Dig Cookbook.

We offer tea and coffee mid-morning, and before you leave, when you can also buy books, calendars and wallcharts, as well as CD module trays and dibbers.
