Invitation "An intercultural Garden to grow with and to create with"



august, 2nd to august, 9th 2009 in Apold in Transylvania/Romania



www.tr-a-pold.net



We invite members of the association MitOst and other interested

people to join Âa garden-artistic project in the small romanian

village Apold.



The village and its Parish House



The village of Apold (German: Trappold) is 15 km south of Sighisoara

(germ. SchÃÃburg, hung. SegesvÃr) in southern Transylvania in

Romania. Apold was founded in the 13th century by German settlers,

the Transylvanian Saxons. Today the village counts over 800

inhabitants, almost all Romanians and Roma. The garden of the old

Parish house in Apold, which lost its original function as a result

of the immigration of the Transylvanian Saxons during the 20th

century and was untenanted Âfor some years, is huge and splendid.

Since three years, the local ÂAssociation casApold make the effort to

animate house and garden.



Agenda



Together with the participants, invited garden- and nature-artists

and villagers, we want to bring a new use to a part of the garden by

means Âof natural architecture and artistic gardening. Priority

objective is, Âto associate the components of nature and culture with

a direct Âbenefit in a Âcreative and artistic way. ÂThereby, we want

to create Âwith you a garden, whose basic structure consists of

living materials Âlike willow. In emerging niches solar showers and

water games are Âgoing to be constructed. ÂA fundamental component is

the joint work Âprocess. After seven days team accomplishment, the

work of art will be Âan impressive sight. Painting activities, a

movie night, village Âexploration and an excursion to the rural

surroundings are also Âincluded in the programme, moreover, the

nearby town Sighisoara, ÂUNESCO World Heritage Side can be visited.



We will celebrate the conclusion of the workshop with a garden-party.



Background



This water-willow-garden should be experienced by the guests of the

guesthouse both as a garden-artistic object and used as summer shower-

garden. The garden site will be amended by compost-toilets and Âis

understood as addition to the washing facilities of the Parish House.



Hereby, the sensitiveness and valuableness of the element water

should be demonstrated in a creative and garden-artistic way for

intercultural groups, which regular Âvisit the Guest House. It should

be shown, that alternative models for Âan economical Âbut still

effective use of water is possible without any sustainable pollution.



The workshop is embedded in the project âGreen trApPOLD - Public

green and open spaces in the rural area of Transylvania using Apold

as a modelâ. This Âproject of interdisciplinary quality Âinvolves

components Âof landscape architecture, care for historical monuments,

development of tourism, environmental education, nature conservation

and environmental protection Âas well as of inter cultural dialogue

and community Âbuilding.
