Plant Based Tips or Sebastian Kulis and Robert Ropel. Sebastian took up cultivating his garden at the age of 17, and that’s how he turned from a hobby gardener into a gardener with experience. Robert studied architecture and urban planning at Gdansk University of Technology, and then landscape architecture – out of love for space and Nature. They have been living and working together for 5 years now, designing, making and maintaining ecological gardens not only in Poland, but also in Scandinavia. They educate on how to grow vegetables in an ecological, Nature-friendly way, use wild plants, how to take care of the soil and influence the increase of biodiversity around us. Both have not eaten meat for more than 10 years, promoting their own vegetable crops. They suggest how to switch to a plant-based diet, using well-known and lesser-known vegetables, herbs, fruits, mushrooms or wild plants of Poland. They prove that veganism is not only easy, but also better for the world, or our bodies.
Karol Hamanowicz – activist, student, activist for equality and justice.
