Community Garden Ville Haute (Uewerstad)
A community garden where members own their own beds as well as care for a specific area collectively.
Initiative phase: Well established and running
The community garden is located in the Ville Haute and Gare district of Luxembourg and consists of about 20 privately used beds, each measuring 8 square metres.
In addition, an area of at least the same size is used for communal cultivation, which the group decides on together by mutual agreement. This part of the garden is cultivated in small groups. The sequence of the fruit is respected.
There is a shed for storing the communal tools. Composting is also done on site.
In addition to communal gardening, events, festivals, workshops and further training are offered.
