Home Growing Workshop - a successful start

On Saturday, May 24th, our first grow workshop-by patients for patients in the Migros club school Zurich Altstetten took place. Around 40 interested participants came together to find out about the legal extension of cannabis plants and to network.

Community, exchange and knowledge

The organization was uncomplicated, the venue barrier -free and ideal for our workshop. Drinks were available on site, and from the Association we provided a small mezze buffet and fresh fruits for intermediate catering. The exchange during the break was used lively - an important part of the day.

Specialist lecture and first learning experiences

We started the afternoon with a short delay. Andrea Properzi from Fundación Canna gave the lecture on the subject of cultivation. Thank you for his commitment!

The lecture was demanding for some patients with little previous experience - we are therefore planning an association Specialist preparation for future workshops. If you already had the first growing experience, you were able to follow the content better and take new impulses with you.

Gifts to start

Already at the beginning of the workshop, all participants received a bulging gift bag - with helpful materials for own cultivation, including:

  • An attachment calendar 2025 that shows when sown, can be repotted and harvested
  • The bestiary of the cannabis pests - an illustrated reference work for smile and learn
  • CBD seeds of the “Swiss Dream” variety from Kannabia
  • The Sproutly germ -for simple and safe germs
  • Garden gloves, notepad, poster and useful brochures around organic cultivation and pest management

Joël Ray from Canna Switzerland was also on site and personally presented the materials. Particularly practical: The participants did not have to carry earth and fertilizers home themselves - they were able to conveniently order from Fourwenty.ch voucher

An afternoon with perspective

In addition to the technical knowledge, it was primarily the personal exchange that made this workshop special. Many participants appreciated the open atmosphere, the feeling of self -empowerment and the opportunity to network with each other.

We thank everyone involved - especially our sponsors Canna Switzerland, Kanabia Seed Company and Fundación Canna - for their valuable support. This workshop was only the beginning - further events will follow.
