Information for Monday’s seminar at Flogsta Food
On Monday afternoon we will be having our second seminar, outside in Flogsta Food. Here is a map:
We will be taking two seperate groups, one by bike and one by foot, each leaving Blåsenhus around 12:00. If you cannot make it to the morning lecture and need to meet us there, please arrive by 13:00. If you want to take the bus, take bus #2 or 5 to Flogsta Centrum. Walk towards the three-story red brick houses. Behind house #81 is the garden.
The compulsory part of the seminar consists of a tour of Flogsta Food and Q&A, followed by a group discussion. Afterwards we will work practically in the garden - this part is not compulsory, though highly recommended.
So wear some clothes which are suitable for gardening and potentially poor weather and bring something to the fika if you wish.
