BAM Workshop KIDS: Gardens 2024

The Coltiviamo Insieme workshops are resuming. We’ll learn to discover the colours of nature amidst vegetables, flowers and tinctorial plants! 

Flowers not only enrich the garden with their colours and fragrances, but are essential for creating a place full of biodiversity and beauty. Vegetables provide us with everyday nourishment, and species rarely grown today in the Milan area will be added to those in BAM’s crops. Tinctorial plants will lead us in search of colours to combine nature with creativity!

A garden full of fragrances, flavours and colours is waiting to be cultivated with your help.

We will meet every Tuesday at 4.45 p.m. in the Giardino de Castillia starting from 26 March, book your place now!
