Description of what they do in regards to urban gardening: As this town is one of the most densely populated, the local council decided to create a community garden for the locals who would like to volunteer and learn some green skills while meeting up with other people. This adventure started in 2017 with a group of around 5 young people showing up for the first meet up.
Today the group is made up of around 40 people and they meet regularly sometimes daily especially in the summer months. What they have done is that they have manage to turn an old abandoned garden in the town to a place where everyone can come and safely enjoy nature. The group is also growing and selling crops to the visitors that come to the garden.
