We hold regular workshops at Babylonstoren as we see it as an ideal opportunity to share what we’ve learned and to also learn from our community. Experts in their fields host these workshops in collaboration with our team. They’re quite hands-on so you will get to try out the skills, technique or discipline that we’re learning about. Starting with a walk through the garden, it is usually a full-day affair.
