Friday 11th July
The Moon starts in the warm constellation of Sagittarius before moving into the earthy sign of Capricorn, making it an ideal day for tending to root vegetables. In biodynamics, we strive to create a gardening organism—the garden is understood as a living being, and the role of the gardener is to generate all its fertility needs from within, gradually making it more self-sufficient. Biodynamic gardeners and farmers spend significant time observing and meditating in the garden, listening for the whispers of the genius loci—the spirit of the place—which guides them toward the most suitable plants, animals, and activities for their unique landscape, and helps place them in conscious relationship with the being of the land itself.
