"This is going like clockwork?!" From oil and coconut palms and fat fruits.
From Friday, July 15, 4:30 p.m. to Saturday, July 16, 2022 at 5:30 p.m., the Tropical Greenhouse will be all about oleaginous plants (ingredients) and their products. Our journey through the world of fat fruits begins with an interactive introductory lecture. We will get to know the diversity of oil plants, devote ourselves to botany and cultivation, and examine their cultural and economic significance through the centuries.
After dinner, we will end the day with stories about fat fruits during an evening tour of the tropical greenhouse. If the weather cooperates, 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", including 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, tasting of the diverse vegetable oils and products may not be missing. We will also have time for discussions, questions and mutual exchange.
