Großer Gartentag

In the organizer's words:

In the workshop "Introduction to the art of incense" we collect medicinal plants, make herb bundles and give an insight into the world of smell and its ceremonial and medicinal aspects. We'll also garden together, fire up the wood-burning oven and bake garden pizzas. Donation on site and registration at garten@buehnenkoeln.de is requested.


The CARLsGARTEN in front of the Depot is a long-term artistic project. In recent years, it has grown into a place of encounter. On the former industrial area of Carlswerk, which used to be empty concrete space, a green island has emerged. Once a month, all interested people have the opportunity to garden in the urban gardening project in front of the depot. The pizza oven is fired up and various workshops invite you to get creative. "FEEL ME" - 29 OCT - 1pm-6pm We will start the day with a walk through the garden, collecting medicinal herbs and learning about the power in ribwort, St. John's wort, comfrey and spruce. From the extracts we make ointments. We will also use our ripe vegetables and cook a stew together. For young and old, the artist Aleksander Jakimenko from Kharkov will offer one of his painting courses. Musical accompaniment will again be provided by DJ El-Magnifico. Donation on site for the artists* and the garden is requested. Winter Festival CHOCOLATE CALIENTE - 19 NOV - 1pm-6pm In November we will offer an extensive garden tour, and collect, sort and exchange our seeds. With your help, we will winterize the CARLsGARTEN and send good thoughts to heaven during a collective incense ritual. The Cosita Bonita team will be setting up Mexican hot chocolate, tamales and other delicacies from Mexico. A donation on site as well as registration at garten@buehnenkoeln.de is requested.
