"It's going like clockwork?" Of oil and coconut palms and fatty fruits.
From Friday, July 15, 4:30 pm to Saturday, July 16, 2022 at 5:30 pm, everything in the tropical greenhouse will revolve around oleaginous plants (components) and their products. Our journey through the world of fatty fruits begins with an interactive introductory lecture. We learn about the diversity of oil plants, take a look at botany and cultivation and examine their cultural and economic significance over the centuries.
After dinner together, we will round off the day with stories about fatty fruits during an evening tour of the tropical greenhouse. Weather permitting, we will have the opportunity to gather around the fire bowl in the garden afterwards.
The next day, we will get to know the plants in the tropical greenhouse and the container garden up close. Anna Ritgen from El Puente will tell us everything we need to know about "fair coconuts" and also discuss current challenges and developments among producers in Sri Lanka.
Back in the garden, we will explore the cultivated area buffet and the oil plants available there, reflecting on the topic of fair distribution and our own needs.
Of course, we will also taste the various vegetable oils and products. We will also have time for discussions, questions and mutual exchange.
