– ABOUT THIS SERVICE –

Experience a unique regenerative gardening workshop that combines environmental education, local culture, and authentic countryside experiences in Hoi An. This immersive 4.5-hour activity introduces visitors to sustainable farming practices that help restore ecosystems while preserving valuable indigenous plant knowledge for future generations.

 

Your journey begins with hotel pickup in Hoi An before cycling approximately 5 km through the tranquil countryside to Thanh Dong Village in Cam Thanh. Along the way, admire picturesque rice paddies, lush nipa palm forests, shrimp farms, and peaceful rural landscapes that showcase the natural beauty of central Vietnam.

 

Upon arrival at Madam Van Food & Drinks, enjoy a refreshing herbal tea made from lemongrass and butterfly pea flowers freshly harvested from the garden. Your host will then guide you through the regenerative garden, introducing a variety of medicinal herbs, native plants, vegetables, and aromatic herbs grown using circular, environmentally friendly farming methods.

 

The highlight of the workshop is a hands-on introduction to regenerative gardening and native plant nurseries. Learn why indigenous and adaptable plant species are essential for biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable agriculture. Under the guidance of local experts, you'll discover how to prepare healthy soil substrates, propagate plants from seeds and cuttings, and nurture young plants using environmentally responsible techniques.

 

Beyond practical gardening skills, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how regenerative agriculture strengthens local communities by preserving traditional knowledge, restoring natural ecosystems, and promoting long-term environmental sustainability. The nursery also serves as an educational space where local people continue passing valuable ecological knowledge to future generations.

 

Before returning to your hotel by electric car, enjoy a fun Banh Xeo cooking demonstration followed by a delicious Vietnamese family-style lunch or dinner prepared with fresh ingredients harvested from the garden.

 

Whether you're passionate about sustainability, gardening, or authentic cultural experiences, this workshop offers an inspiring opportunity to reconnect with nature while learning practical skills that can be applied in everyday life.

Why You'll Love This Experience: More than just a gardening workshop, this experience offers a meaningful introduction to regenerative living and sustainable agriculture in Vietnam. By learning how native plants contribute to biodiversity, climate resilience, and healthy ecosystems, you'll gain practical knowledge that extends beyond your travels. Combined with a scenic countryside cycling tour, an organic garden visit, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and warm local hospitality, this workshop provides an inspiring and memorable way to experience the greener side of Hoi An.
