Basic information
The Botanical Garden Prague will show you different ways to grow plants in the city, bring more greenery to your windows, balconies, or grow front gardens in your neighbourhood. They will also show you how the urban and natural ecosystems work together.
All activities in the Responsible workshops are free (included in the admission fee), so just bring your good spirits and head to the Botanical Gardens.
The magic of the selected Responsible Workshops activities is that the process of inspiration and learning about the possibilities of waste reduction, waste sorting and upcycling is wrapped in relaxing and creative activities. Moreover, in each workshop you will work with waste, rarely with new material. The fact that waste plays a key role may seem like a slight paradox, but the main idea remains that the ideal is not to create any more waste which is reflected across all activities.
