The workshop is suitable for anyone who likes to write and draw by hand or who enjoys handicrafts and learning about the creativity and practicalities of other cultures. Materials and tools will be provided!

Of course, if the number of applications is optimal, everyone – young and young at heart – will be accepted.

Jan Robin graduated in Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana. He has been working in the field since the beginning of his studies and plants have been his passion since childhood. Later, as a student, he took part in the Green Challenge project, where he and a teammate won first prize for the design of a farm garden at the Volčji potok Arboretum.
On Instagram, he is known as Botanistbyheart, where he shares his love of plants with more than 65 000 followers from all over the world. In 2018, his photo was chosen for the cover of the book Boyswithplants, which features fifty boys and their plant collections. As a great lover of plants, he participates in various events related to plants and their placement in space. He organises workshops and round tables on houseplants. He encourages young people to love greenery and self-sufficiency and uses his knowledge to help them furnish their homes with plants. He initiated the first plant swap in Maribor and is an ambassador of the #PlantHealth4Life campaign run by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and writes for the magazine Flowers and Garden.
You are invited to come and see and see a demonstration, because as Jan says, passion is contagious!
