Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar

The Stella Natura calendar offers advice for when to sow seeds and cultivate garden and farm crops to enhance their roots, flowers, leaves or fruits. This is based on the Moon’s passage through the constellations of the zodiac. Unfavorable times for sowing are also indicated, to help avoid those inexplicable crop failures.

This Calendar has many aspects: a basic introduction to astronomy, a simple ephemeris, a planting guide, a star map, aid for following the movement of the planets in the night sky, and articles by ten different authors. All of these attempt to provide a true picture of the world outside us and ideas to assist in developing a healthy relation to that world.

Published by Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary, Stella Natura continues to bring insightful articles, beautiful artwork, and monthly charts to gardeners and growers across its annual editions.  Stella Natura draws on the work of Rudolf Steiner, Lilly Kolisko, Maria Thun, Sherry Wildfeuer, and other contemporary pioneers of this work whose original research underlies the indications that are given for what to plant when.  We are also actively fostering a community of living research for the continued development of this work to help shine light on the many questions which remain as opportunities to further this science of the stars which is both ancient and in need of renewal.
