Forest Garden Fresco

8 Nov, 2026

Institut français de Pékin

If you’re curious about how edible forest gardens work and what makes them thrive, this workshop offers a hands-on way to explore them. Over a few hours, you’ll engage with about fifty cards that break down the garden’s elements, how it develops over time, and the benefits it brings. The session draws on collective intelligence, encouraging you to piece together the bigger picture of these ecosystems. This thoughtful approach goes beyond gardening basics to include concepts like Taoist wu wei and natural self-organization. The experience invites you to slow down and consider how living systems find balance and flow, surprisingly relevant beyond the garden. You’ll likely find the process both educational and meditative, with moments encouraging reflection on nature’s rhythms. Whether you come alone or with friends, the workshop creates space for meaningful conversations and shared insights. It’s a chance to connect with ideas that feel both ancient and timely, without pressure or rush.
