The beating heart of Cascina Costera's hands-on activity: a live workshop designed for those who want to cross the boundary of theory and engage directly with the earth.
- The Educational Context: Next to the farmhouse, a checkerboard of raised beds, specially made as "botanical gyms," allow you to experiment live with the creation of small green areas.
- What You 'llDo: You'll have a curated selection of ornamental plants to try your hand at creating botanical arrangements of various sizes, shapes and colors. Under the guidance of an experienced eye, you will learn how to select species not just for color or shape, but with respect to their agronomic requirements and proper plant associations.
- Philosophy: We firmly believe that "getting your hands dirty" is the most effective way to learn. Acquiring the gestures of planting allows deep memorization and gives new confidence in one's creative abilities.
- Who is it for: Professionals, enthusiasts and the curious who want a concrete approach and a real confrontation with the universe of ornamental plants and their practical use.
