Dhyan Foundation Gardener Talk: Growing Saffron and Traditional Composting
Join us for an educational gardening program on Growing Saffron and Traditional Composting, along with an exploration of natural, fertilizer-free backyard gardening practices.
We will discuss how saffron, the “golden spice,” is cultivated and harvested, and how cow dung composting creates nutrient-rich soil that supports healthy plants without synthetic inputs. In addition, participants will discover diverse home gardening techniques through a showcase of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers—including corn, cucumbers, chilies, gourds, pineapple, calendula, cosmos, and columbines—all grown without chemical fertilizers.
This session will highlight the history and science of these methods, their role in sustainable food systems, and practical steps to apply them at home or in community gardens.
Free. Registration preferred.
