25 - 27 November 2022: Growing & Flowing - in and around Le Locle

A weekend dedicated the importance of water and the ability to grow food at home with a minimum of water, in Le Locle.

We will investigate the importance of water, its presence and absence in the region, discover its beauty in the current exhibition of Edward Burtynsky at the nearby museum MBAL.ch, and most of all learn about hydroponic gardening, a farming technique to grow food in your home that safes up to 90% of water otherwise used in traditional agriculture with Antonio Scarponi and his system ELIOOO.  

From Saturday or already Friday evening, for those who can arrive early, to Sunday we will follow the flow and, depending on the weather visit the MBAL museum, Underground Mills, Lake des Brenets and the impressive Rocks at Roches des Morons.

With dinner together on Saturday and guided exploration of the fascinating history between agriculture, design and industry of Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fonds, cost Fr. 250.-, without accommodation. Registration to sophie.mauch@praesent.studio
