As always, we will start with a tour though the garden, looking at plants while sharing stories about what we see. Keeping our ideas of gardening (caring, cherishing, maintaining, gathering) alive, we will then prepare compost from this year’s plants; sow spinach, peas, winter; gather nettles, mulch plants before winter, …

We meet to garden together on the wild and colourful hillside garden at Feldversuche, which is taken care of by Sigrid Gerl and Nikolaus Eckhard as part of a community initiative of the Kleine Stadtfarm in Lobau: to observe and listen closely to how the garden changes throughout the seasons – week by week –, to recognise what the garden needs from us; gathering and exchanging knowledge and telling stories about seeds and plants from here and elsewhere, eating together, … We take a careful, caring approach to the garden and try to reflect on different approaches in our practical work—indigenous practices (Robin Wall Kimmerer), decolonial reflections on agriculture (Vandana Shiva, Maria Mies, Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen), concepts such as permaculture and agroforestry – and learn a holistic approach.
As we work together in the garden, we also try to approach the ideas of the commons – shared spaces – and the question: How can we collectively deal with the food that the garden gives us in urban spaces and with the earth itself?

*The title is derived from the concept of deep listening, echoing the musical ideas of Pauline Oliveros. Although we work practically here in the garden, “listening to the garden” is very closely related to the idea of our gardening practice.
