End of year event
A festive drink to close the year at one of our partner venues with a reception room: local hot and cold drinks, seasonal bites and a warm atmosphere away from the office. Combine it with an experience that makes sense, like planting trees at one of our eco venues, or with an indoor activity such as a herbal tea workshop or building wildlife shelters. A special end of year moment that leaves a real mark on the ground.See the experience
Nursery workshop
One plant can give dozens. Depending on the season, you learn the nursery grower’s gestures: sowing and pricking out in spring, grafting fruit trees, hardwood cuttings in winter, softwood cuttings under cover in summer, layering.See the experienceOrchard pruning
Take part in caring for a collection orchard. In spring the work is planting: renewing ageing trees, bringing in new varieties, learning how a tree is put in the ground and how an orchard is run. In autumn it is pruning and thinning, to let the light back in and prepare the next harvests, with the cut branches chipped on the spot to feed the soil. Picnic possible on site when the weather allows.See the experience
Tailor-made event
Inauguration, family day, end-of-year gathering: we open the sites and organise the logistics around your event.See the experience
Rooftop workshop
On the L[ag]UM rooftop farm above Ixelles, a visit followed by a hands-on workshop: cuttings, seed bombs, an insect hotel or ivy laundry detergent. Everyone leaves with what they made.See the experience
Microbrewery
Visit the farm’s brewery and see how its craft beers are made, from choosing the ingredients to bottling, with hops grown on site. The visit ends with a tasting.See the experience
Natural colours
A workshop in creativity and letting go, led by Géraldine. With the bundle dye technique, petals, leaves and peelings become pigments to print on fabric. You experiment without pressure, and everyone leaves with their own creation.See the experience
Beehive workshop
With the farm’s beekeepers and breeders, discover a sustainable food chain from the inside. Depending on the season, you look after the hives, collect eggs from the mobile henhouse and care for the animals.See the experienceHerbal teas
Discover which plants on site make good herbal teas and what their medicinal properties are. The workshop includes a tour of the site, and everyone leaves with a pack of herbal tea.See the experience
Market gardening
Hands in the soil alongside the growers: sowing, mulching, harvesting. A concrete look at what living-soil farming asks for, and what it gives back.See the experience
Meeting in nature
A working session, a seminar or a retrospective held outdoors, on one of our partner sites. A breath of fresh air to think differently, together.See the experience
Site visit
The visit is led by someone who works on the ground, who shows you how things really happen there, day to day: what has been done, what works, what is still hard. The reality of the field, unfiltered.See the experience
Ethical walking dinner
At Mundo Matongé in Ixelles, in ReFresh XL's bright room opening onto a garden and terrace, a walking dinner prepared by trainees learning sustainable cooking trades. Verrines, filled rolls and seasonal wraps made with fresh, local produce. Every bite supports professional integration.See the experience
Bread making workshop
Learn the basic gestures of a baker: organic heritage wheat flour, hand shaping, gluten free breads and wood fired baking depending on the venue. An introduction to sourdough, how to use it and why it is good for you.See the experience
Wildlife shelters
Insect hotels, bird nest boxes, hedgehog shelters, bat roosts or piles of wood and stones: as a team, you build all kinds of shelters for small wildlife with natural and reclaimed materials, then install them on the site. The people who run the venue explain who each shelter is for and where to place it. The shelters stay on site and welcome wildlife all year round.See the experienceFrequently asked questions
