Hello everyone,
As you may have seen in our forum discussions, at the beginning of November we organized a European Going To Seed meeting in Croatia.
It was a great success, both in terms of the spirit of the meetings between us and the local community, but also in terms of our connection with the rest of the world.
In fact, buoyed by our enthusiasm, we had planned workshops with a number of specialists in the agriculture of the future, all of whom were able to attend. These videoconferences, which were fascinating and highly informative, are now set to enrich the knowledge of the entire Going To Seed community.
Here is the exceptional cast we have assembled, whose recordings we can offer you :

After consulting with the speakers, we can offer you limited access to the recordings of these videoconferences. To avoid widespread distribution on a public platform, it has been agreed that anyone interested in viewing them should contact us by replying to this forum post, after which we will send you a private message with the viewing link.
We are counting on you not to share this link publicly, as this could damage the relationship of trust between our team and these specialists who have generously offered us their time and knowledge.
We hope that this high-quality content will inspire new and exciting projects within Going to Seed and among all gardeners embarking on the path of adaptive gardening.
From Mare, Laura, Hugo, Emily, Marcela, Sébastien, Boryan, Stéphane, Malte, Dirk and Thomas
