The "Green Church" started a series of ecological gardening seminars with Karl Hann, ecological expert from Carț who will guide us in setting up our school garden.
The seminar was attended by Mr Gross, chairman of the church board, the Farcasiu family, the gardening team of Șelimbar deacon team, the colleagues and volunteers of Gusterita as well as five university professors and twenty agriculture students of the Lucian-Blaga University, Sibiu.
Why should the soil not be ploughed? What is the purpose of weeds in a garden? How can we obtain humus-rich soil? Which plants complement each other? All these questions met with surprising agreement and with basic skepticism at the same time.
Agreement was reached on the following points: the series of seminars will continue with practial work in the garden. The university will undertake to test the soils in the various parts of the property while the students will share in planting trees for "green filters" and the orchard. They are joined by the Agency for Environment and Romsilva. The students will develop and realise a concept for garbage recycling and removal for the entire property.
