Sara­tah Kei­ta has been gar­dening on a 7 m² bal­c­o­ny in Ber­lin for 22 years. She caught my eye in our bril­li­ant Face­book group for the Orga­nic Bal­c­o­ny Con­gress with her expe­ri­men­tal con­tri­bu­ti­ons. This desi­re to take a playful approach to gar­dening, to try out lots of things, to be cou­ra­ge­ous and achie­ve suc­cess and, abo­ve all, to expe­ri­ence a lot of joy and sur­pri­ses, always deligh­ted me when I read her posts. I asked Sara­tah if she would give a con­tri­bu­ti­on for the Orga­nic Bal­c­o­ny Con­gress, espe­ci­al­ly on regro­wing, on regro­wing vege­ta­ble was­te. She has now given us a won­derful con­tri­bu­ti­on on sus­tainable, resour­ce-saving gar­dening in a small space, which I am very plea­sed about. With the inge­nious title „Mein Noch­mal Bal­kon. With litt­le to abun­dance“. Thank you for your food for thought. Thank you for your cou­ra­ge and your time in pre­pa­ring this fine, loving talk for us.

Con­tent of the pre­sen­ta­ti­on:

Let yours­elf be sur­pri­sed: My bal­c­o­ny again. With litt­le to abun­dance. I’m sure the­re are more peo­p­le like Sara­tah who work full-time, have few resour­ces and don’t have a gar­den, but do have a bal­c­o­ny gar­den. She shows how you can make it beau­tiful, how you can achie­ve a lot with litt­le effort. Sara­tah shows her plea­su­re, joy and wil­ling­ness to expe­ri­ment with simp­le, rela­xed, resour­ce-saving gar­dening on her bal­c­o­ny gar­den.

During the fine lec­tu­re, the two films did not start — here are the beau­tiful natu­re obser­va­tions to watch:
