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.

FAQ

The con­gress will take place online in the com­fort of your own home. In the peri­od from 06. bis 15. Sep­tem­ber 2025 you will recei­ve a dai­ly e‑mail with the access links to the respec­ti­ve inter­views. 

You can watch every inter­view in the 48-hour peri­od on your com­pu­ter, cell pho­ne, lap­top or tablet free of char­ge.

Exch­an­ge of expe­ri­ence desi­red: The com­ment func­tion is acti­va­ted under every post. You have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to exch­an­ge ide­as with other con­gress par­ti­ci­pan­ts, experts and prac­ti­tio­ners — most experts and prac­ti­tio­ners will be loo­king to sup­port us!

Yes, par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on is 100 % free of char­ge! Howe­ver, you have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to purcha­se the con­gress packa­ge with all inter­views for a small pri­ce and thus secu­re all the important con­tent so that you can view it seve­ral times via the mem­bers’ area (life­time access) or via down­load. In the News­let­ter you will recei­ve more detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on — also to the upco­ming pro­mo­tio­nal pri­ces.

No. The com­ple­te expert inter­views and ques­ti­on-and-ans­wer ses­si­ons can be view­ed exclu­si­ve­ly here as part of this con­gress. Regis­tra­ti­on for the con­gress with an e‑mail address is suf­fi­ci­ent.

Yes, if you would like to down­load the inter­views (video and audio), you can purcha­se the con­gress packa­ge at any time. About the dai­ly news­let­ter you will always get all the latest dates and infor­ma­ti­on, find out ever­y­thing about live work­shops and exclu­si­ve bene­fits.

If you have NOT recei­ved a con­fir­ma­ti­on e‑mail after regis­tering (also check your SPAM fol­der), then try regis­tering with a dif­fe­rent e‑mail address. With web.de, t‑online.de, gmail.com, googlemail.com, gmx.at/en and bluewin.ch the­re are deli­very pro­blems with the con­gress mails due to their ser­ver set­tings, over which we have no influence.

If the regis­tra­ti­on does not work with any of your e‑mail addres­ses, plea­se use the cont­act form or send an e‑mail to support@bio-balkon.de. We will then relia­bly send you ever­y­thing per­so­nal­ly by hand so that you don’t miss any­thing! 

Some­ti­mes emails end up in the spam fol­der. Plea­se check your spam fol­der and add me to your addres­ses to pre­vent this from hap­pe­ning in the future. 

Some­ti­mes, howe­ver, e‑mails are not deli­ver­ed by the pro­vi­der for various reasons. Unfort­u­na­te­ly, I have no influence on this

So if you do not recei­ve any e‑mails, plea­se cont­act me. I will then send you the e‑mails by hand.
