A special visit to a simple and authentic garden house
The House of Roses is dedicated to the production of seed balls, compost production, the sustainability of ecosystems, and the cultivation of fruit trees, ornamentals, and medicinal plants with organic fertilizers This is one of the projects that benefit from the Jordan River Links Project. The House of Roses project was introduced in 2015 to produce ornamental plants for the home. Like thyme, zaitman, and others.
Beit Al-Ward were the first to produce seed balls (earth balls) and share them with various internal and external tourism sectors, and now they are working on preparing seed balls in the village of Umm Qais, far north of Jordan, to reproduce the ecosystem in the region such as thyme and other plants that are significantly diminished due to overgrazing and fires and for other reasons.
They are working to host a few interested tourists and share with them the experience of producing seed balls, as well as share it with the community in general, to promote this idea at the local and international levels. Subsequently, they make seed balls and provide a detailed explanation of them, their history, their importance, and the simplicity of their work.
