Teilnehmerstimmen
“I came across your site plus the ongoing event purely “by chance”. Everything is great, very helpful and really very practical. Many thanks for your excellent work. dk“ Dana K.
„I have microgreens in the kitchen and am giving them away for birthdays this year. There is now a worm box in the kitchen. I have placed stones, branches and empty snail shells in the boxes. The rain is caught in them and various insects come to drink. Stinging nettles and wild garlic are now also growing in the soil ring.
The congress was such a great inspiration to me that I am passing it on. At work, the garden is now managed differently, a colleague is redesigning her garden.… .
The first thing I do every day is go out onto the terrace to greet the new inhabitants. It gives me so much pleasure to watch them grow. I water them with vegetable cooking water and put out bird food.
At the moment I’m looking into EM and trying to find something suitable for me.“ Gabriele S.
“I’m thrilled and I’m really blossoming — so many positive emotions are conveyed here.” Grit S.
“By chance I came across and into your organic balcony conference -
with a little skepticism, but this disappeared completely with the first lecture.
The presentations became more exciting with each day and I was blown away by your enthusiasm and what you have put together. Here in the Stuttgart area, land is similarly limited and expensive as in Berlin. Now I know what I have in the “towel” that I own… and what else is possible.
I now also have a vertical bed and a worm box with hopefully happy worms.” Susanne A.
“Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge and network in such a loving and appreciative way.
Thanks for taking my hand when starting and/or rearranging the (balcony) planting.
Thank you for encouraging me to “just get started”.
You were, or rather are, an inspiration for me and I was able to put aside my “fear” of doing something wrong when gardening and I also feel so incredibly motivated by the fact that I was and am able to experience at the congress and in the Facebook group that there are sooooo many great people who make the world a little or a huge amount more colorful every day and who are anything but indifferent to the other person — no matter how small a bug or bacterium.” Mirjam W.
“I’ve heard a lot of congresses, but I’ve never seen organizers respond so quickly to emails and be so present with questions and comments! I think that’s very high quality!
And your way of interviewing and your choice of interviewees is totally brilliant! Super!
I’ve been ill for over 1.5 years and since your last conference I’ve been really motivated to make my balcony beautiful — in small steps, but very lively. Thank you very much for that! It invigorates me, even if I have to be careful not to take on too much because otherwise I’ll be overwhelmed … But that also comes across really well in your conferences. Thank you!“ Katja S.
“The enthusiasm was completely transferred to me, and that at 01:25 at night. The presentation was really great and the most important thing was always emphasized: try it out, it’s not bad if it doesn’t work.” Lutzi F.
“I really like this congress. The main topics, your interesting questions and your calm way of moderating. It’s really fun to watch the interviews. Very professional. ” Kaia L.
“Great lots of good information and stay creative and not too complicated” Tonja R.
