Basket weaving from palm brooms in La Gomera

You get a unique opportunity to spend time with an organic farmer and botanist and learn a lot about Gomera's nature, history and climate. Zdenka is enthusiastic about the island, its natural treasures and traditional crafts, and tells a lot about her experiences on the way to sustainable rural life. At the same time, you will learn to create a recyclable vessel with your own hands. You will notice how happy it is to braid a basket! All this in the beautiful green mountain village!

During a short walk through the beautiful village of Agulo you will learn a lot about plants, agriculture and the Canary date palm : botany, traditional use, curiosities. We collect palm brooms, and in our workshop location we prepare them to weave them into traditional cups. Zdenka prepares Canarian snack from her garden. At the end of the day, everyone has a homemade, absolutely sustainable basket in their hands, and a unique experience from the green heart of La Gomera!
