Kitchen herbs - grown quickly and easily at the window - can do more than just spice. An exchange of experiences over peppermint tea or a mojito that shows what herbs are about- from the leaf to the essential oil.
SOS – Help us rescue our TOADS!
From mid-February to mid-April
Milder night-time temperatures (>5°C), rainy and humid weather, but also increasing day lengths create the optimal conditions to trigger the migration of toads from their winter quarters (forest) to their spawning waters (ponds etc.). The migration period runs from mid-February to mid-April, with the start and duration varying from year to year depending on weather conditions. To help toads cross our roads safely we need helping hands! For further details, see: https://www.echo.lu/en/organiser/X-cHLjcpeU2uAMc2Jot9/experiences/sos-help-us-rescue-our-toads-A7WiwX/preview
