Innovative steps
Garden plots are rented to citizens at low prices for a year. There is a rulebook for gardeners to follow, co-created with gardeners, and which is based on an understanding of ecological practices and vision for the space- not only a place of individual gardening but also as an educational space and biodiversity point in the urban area.
