May 19: DIY Workshop: Bee-friendly Seedbombs

Saturday, May 2nd, 2015

Learn or teach how to make seedbombs – small balls made up of a clay, compost soil and seeds!

This time we will focus on choosing seeds of bee-friendly plants.

After we are done with seedbombs, there will be a short movie screening about the importance of seeds – SEEDS OF FREEDOM

Come and join us any time and feel free to learn or teach, discuss, have a drink, watch a movie…

No entrance fee – donations for materials, drinks, snacks are welcome!

————————————————————————————————–
What material will we use?
SEEDS
If you have some seeds that we could use, bring them!
Let’s choose our seeds carefully (bee-friendly, native plants, not GM…)
And feel free to share your knowledge on which plants are good option and what are the best areas to do seedbombing!
COMPOST SOIL
If you have some spare compost soil, you can bring it.
CLAY
We will use red powdered clay. Of course local clay is the best option. If you have it, you can bring it and share it with us.

WHY BEE-FRIENDLY SEEDBOMBS?
Honeybees are disappearing drastically around the world. And the impact honeybees have on the human population and the environment is far more crucial than we may think. They facilitate pollination for most plant life. Most of the food you consume is available because of bees.

Why bees are disappearing:

There is hope. By planting bee-friendly native plants we provide diversity and food for the bees!

▲ Izmenjava Sadik (in semen)
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Kako? Zelo preprosto – na kraj dogodka prinesite aktualne sadike, ki bi jih radi zamenjali s tistimi, ki jih še nimate. Sadike (ali semena) naj bodo domačih, avtohtonih sort zelenjadnic, sadnega drevja, zelišč, začimb ipd. Po potrebi in zaželjeno je, da jih tudi označite – dopišete leto, sorto, kraj kjer je seme zorelo.
Na izmenjavi sadik se sadik (in semen) ne prodaja! Če svojih sadik nimate, se potrudite, da jih tako ali drugače dobite – lahko si jih npr. izposodite. Možnosti je dandanes veliko, če ste doma tudi v virtualnem svetu pa še več (namig: blogi, fb skupine ipd, kjer se menja in izposoja semena)

Primož Turnšek je mikrobiolog in permakulturni učitelj, njegova največja strast je razumevanje narave. Znanje mikrobiologije združuje s permakulturo in ga poizkuša tudi praktično uporabiti. Na svojem predavanju (na katerem boste lahko tudi kaj vprašali) bo predstavil življenje v tleh, kakšen je njegov pomen za rodovitnost in kaj lahko naredimo, da to življenje vzpodbudimo tudi v lastnem vrtu. Zaupal nam bo tudi nekaj receptov čarobnih zvarkov polnih življenja, kot je npr. bokaši, povedal nam bo kako lahko doma gojimo mikorizne glive in kaj je to korejsko naravno kmetovanje.

Podružnica se s tem predavanje pridružuje mednarodni iniciativi za ohranjanje tal in seveda Mednarodnemu letu tal 2o15.

▲ Mednarodno leto tal 2015
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Združeni narodi so 20. decembra 2013 na svojem 68. zasedanju razglasili leto 2015 za Mednarodno leto tal.

Srečujemo se z naraščanjem svetovnega prebivalstva, s tem pa tudi potreb po naravnih virih. Po drugi strani so posledice klimatskih sprememb hude. Dezertifikacija je izraz, ki zajema mnoge vrste degradacij, ki so neposredno povezane s tlemi. Erozije, zaslanjanje, suše, pozidave…. in mnogi drugi procesi in njihove posledice zmanjšujejo ali uničujejo tla, s tem pa tudi možnosti za življenje na kopnem. Hrana je le del ‘te zgodbe’. Tla so v središču vseh okoljskih procesov. Čiščenje voda, skladiščenje ogljika, kroženje snovi in energije, so habitat z izjemno biotsko pestrostjo. Tla so bistven del okolja. Degradacija tal je degradacija okolja. Tla so bila v preteklosti zapostavljena. Spoznanja o njihovem pomenu se širše uveljavljajo šele v zadnjih letih. Pomembno je, da spoznanja o pomenu tal spremenijo naša ravnanja in jih usmerijo v boljše varovanje in trajnostno gospodarjenje s tem naravnim virom.

Osnovni namen aktivnosti v okviru Mednarodnega leta tal je osveščanje, ki naj bi pripeljalo v boljšemu ravnanju s tlemi.

Aktivnosti pod okrijlem FAO izvaja Global Soil Partnership (GSP) – prostovoljno združenje vladnih, nevladnih in strokovnih organizacij, ki si prizadeva za ohranjanje zdravih in produktivnih tal.

▲ Kača Kačurda in čarobni podzemni svet | Delavnica za otroke
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Radovedna Kača Kačurda si tudi tokrat ni dala miru, padla je v krtino in se znašla čisto sama v temi… Tako je sprva mislila, a kaj kmalu je ugotovila, da temu ni tako. Kar naenkrat je okrog nje začelo vse gomazeti in majhen navihan glasek jo je pozdravil ”Kačrda kaj pa ti tukaj delaš…”

Z otroci bomo raziskovali življenje v prsti. Dragi starši, vaše otroke bomo fajn umazali s spomladansko migetajočo prstjo!

Delavnico za otroke vodi akademska kiparka Ana Žerjal, včasih ji bo na pomoč priskočila Maja, ki bo krotila deževnike.

Podružnica se s to delavnico pridružuje mednarodni iniciativi za ohranjanje tal in seveda Mednarodnemu letu tal 2o15.
