<br>
august, 2nd to august, 9th 2009 in Apold in Transylvania/Romania<br>
<br>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.tr-a-pold.net">www.tr-a-pold.net</a><br>
<br>
We invite members of the association MitOst and other interested<br>
people to join a garden-artistic project in the small romanian<br>
village Apold.<br>
<br>
The village and its Parish House<br>
<br>
The village of Apold (German: Trappold) is 15 km south of Sighisoara<br>
(germ. Schäßburg, hung. Segesvár) in southern Transylvania in<br>
Romania. Apold was founded in the 13th century by German settlers,<br>
the Transylvanian Saxons. Today the village counts over 800<br>
inhabitants, almost all Romanians and Roma. The garden of the old<br>
Parish house in Apold, which lost its original function as a result<br>
of the immigration of the Transylvanian Saxons during the 20th<br>
century and was untenanted for some years, is huge and splendid.<br>
Since three years, the local Association casApold make the effort to<br>
animate house and garden.<br>
<br>
Agenda<br>
<br>
Together with the participants, invited garden- and nature-artists<br>
and villagers, we want to bring a new use to a part of the garden by<br>
means of natural architecture and artistic gardening. Priority<br>
objective is, to associate the components of nature and culture with<br>
a direct benefit in a creative and artistic way. Thereby, we want<br>
to create with you a garden, whose basic structure consists of<br>
living materials like willow. In emerging niches solar showers and<br>
water games are going to be constructed. A fundamental component is<br>
the joint work process. After seven days team accomplishment, the<br>
work of art will be an impressive sight. Painting activities, a<br>
movie night, village exploration and an excursion to the rural<br>
surroundings are also included in the programme, moreover, the<br>
nearby town Sighisoara, UNESCO World Heritage Side can be visited.<br>
<br>
We will celebrate the conclusion of the workshop with a garden-party.<br>
<br>
Background<br>
<br>
This water-willow-garden should be experienced by the guests of the<br>
guesthouse both as a garden-artistic object and used as summer shower-<br>
garden. The garden site will be amended by compost-toilets and is<br>
understood as addition to the washing facilities of the Parish House.<br>
<br>
Hereby, the sensitiveness and valuableness of the element water<br>
should be demonstrated in a creative and garden-artistic way for<br>
intercultural groups, which regular visit the Guest House. It should<br>
be shown, that alternative models for an economical but still<br>
effective use of water is possible without any sustainable pollution.<br>
<br>
The workshop is embedded in the project “Green trApPOLD - Public<br>
green and open spaces in the rural area of Transylvania using Apold<br>
as a model”. This project of interdisciplinary quality involves<br>
components of landscape architecture, care for historical monuments,<br>
development of tourism, environmental education, nature conservation<br>
and environmental protection as well as of inter cultural dialogue<br>
and community building.<br>
<br>
Who<br>

10 participants, members of the Association MitOst from different<br>
countries and other interested are hearty welcome to join the team! 3<br>

during the summer holidays exist, will be invited to take part.<br>
