Community, exchange and knowledge
The organization was straightforward, the venue was accessible and ideal for our workshop. Drinks were available on site, and the Association provided a small mezze buffet and fresh fruit for snacks. The opportunity for discussion during the break was very well received – an important part of the day.
Technical presentation and initial learning experiences
We started the afternoon session with a slight delay. Andrea Properzi from the CANNA Foundation gave a presentation on cultivation. Many thanks for his contribution!
The presentation was challenging for some patients with little prior experience – therefore, we are planning a association accessible version for future workshops. Those who already had some cultivation experience were able to follow the content more easily and gain new insights.
Gifts to get you started
At the start of the workshop, all participants received a generously filled gift bag – with helpful materials for home cultivation, including:
- A 2025 planting calendarshowing when sowing, repotting, and harvesting can take place.
- The Bestiary of Cannabis Pests – an illustrated reference book for a smile and for learning.
- CBD seeds of the "Swiss Dream" variety from Kannabia
- The Sproutly sprouting device – for easy and safe sprouting
- Gardening gloves, notepad, poster and useful brochures about organic farming and pest management
Joël Ray from CANNA Switzerland was also present and personally presented the materials. A particularly convenient feature: participants didn't have to carry the soil and fertilizer home themselves – they could easily order it from Fourtwenty.ch using a voucher provided and have it delivered.
An afternoon with a future
Besides the technical knowledge, it was above all 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, KANNABIA SEED COMPANY and Fundación CANNA – for their valuable support. This workshop was just the beginning – more events will follow.
