Cooking takes place both indoors in the gardenhouse and outdoors, with a mix of ingredients from our garden and other seasonal produce. Between activities, enjoy downtime with beach volleyball, table tennis, or simply relaxing and connecting.

Enrich your experience:
During the event, we offer two optional 30-minute presentations that add value and insight:

• Bokashi Composting: A guide to turning food scraps into compost for sustainable living.
