Green cosmetics from the forest - a seminar with Cornelia Römer
Venue: Nature Conservation Centre, Chemnitz Botanical Garden, Leipziger Straße 147
Admission: 50 euros, with prior registration via: www.stonewood-kraeuter.de/seminare
Give your skin the gift of mindfulness and natural care with ingredients from nature.
The needles of our native conifers contain many valuable ingredients that care for our skin.
In this seminar, we will produce a wonderfully fragrant forest oil and process it further to create fantastic, high-quality natural cosmetic products. These nourish dry, rough winter skin perfectly and keep it beautifully supple.

In this workshop, children aged 6 and over build their own nesting box for native birds using simple tools. In a playful way, they learn why safe nesting places are important, which birds move into nesting boxes and how to hang them up correctly. Together they measure, hammer and design - at the end, each child takes home their self-built birdhouse. A creative, nature-orientated activity that is fun and promotes a love of the environment.
