The workshop in detail
Enter Tessa's workshop and discover the world of medicinal plants and learn how to use them!
The workshop will begin with a theoretical introduction to medicinal plants and their properties. You will choose the plants based on the daily ailments that affect you the most, for example, headaches. Then you'll get your hands in the dirt and turn on gardening mode!
Depending on the season, the workshop will be a little different.
In autumn and winter, Tessa will teach you about cutting, dividing and layering plants. You will also learn how to make macerates and work with seeds. You will leave this workshop with a seed tray or plants to grow and a mini zero-waste care kit to slip into your pocket.
In spring/summer you will learn how to sow correctly, plant successfully, use and create different substrates and take care of your plants. Not only will you gain skills, but you will also leave the workshop with your own planter of medicinal plants and a mini zero-waste care kit to put in your pocket.
This workshop is available in several languages simultaneously. The artisan will change the workshop's language based on the participants in attendance.

The workshop is easily accessible by public transport.

Meet Tessa
Founders of Molleke
Molleke means 'little mole' in Dutch. It is named in honour of the small mammal, often unpopular amongst lovers of 'beautiful' gardens. Working tirelessly, very much under the radar, yet nevertheless playing an important role in the ecosystem. Its work beneath the ground aerates the soil, on account of the long tunnels. It also regulates the number of insects and slugs on account of its feeding habits. Just like a mole, the Molleke team wants to spread some often unknown knowledge and occasionally forgotten values, by digging tunnels and connecting networks!
Alicia, Tessa, and Aline are passionate about promoting local products and a healthier and more ecological way of life. It was on this basis that they created Molleke, a place entirely dedicated to the promoting and raising awareness of a more sustainable lifestyle. It is also a place of exchange and learning centred around three interconnected hubs: an online and physical grocery store selling healthy products, at fair prices and with short supply chains, a café where you can recharge your batteries and enjoy "homemade" dishes, and a citizen space to discover and share best practices and knowledge.
This project is the result of three career changes, pursued with a common objective: to bring meaning to their daily lives.
They wish to reinvent and share recipes for a more sustainable world and create moments of friendship and mutual support. One of Molleke's missions is to raise awareness and implement methods to reduce waste. The project aims to make the Zero Waste approach accessible and promotes its effects both individually (empowerment, saving money) and collectively (preservation of the environment and circular thinking, establishing links)
The project first came about in 2019, in the form of a 2-month pop -up in the urban greenhouse run by the non-profit organisation, Parckfarm Tour et Taxis, based in Molenbeek. After this trial period, Molleke moved to Brussels' 1000 postcode area, where they set to work at number 64 rue de la Poudrière. It is a producers' retail outlet in which you will be able to discover local, top-quality products! The venue is ideally located in the centre of Brussels

Tessa est une formatrice formidable, pleine de connaissances et d'expérience. Généreuse en conseils, elle a modulé l'atelier en fonction de nos envies. Je répare outillée et avec des plantes correspondant à mes petits soucis de santé ! Je recommande (et le lieu est top )
