02What the blog is for
A workshop ends, and the explanation stays spoken
Seventy-eight workshops have been held so far. Everything shown in them is explained out loud, in front of the group that came that day, and there it ends. That is why this blog exists.
Every piece carries one label, and every piece comes out in Serbian, English and Russian.
„Let us make a city that hums more.”
03Newsletter
A new piece in your inbox
We write rarely, only when something in the garden is worth telling: a new piece, a planting action, a workshop date.
