Allotment Enthusiasts: Meet the Gardeners
Allotments enable urban dwellers to harvest the benefits of gardening and growing their own fruit, flowers, and
vegetables – but competition from the building industry is strong. Join Dr Karin Kook, Head of Allotment Gardens and Garden Advice at the Canton of Basel-City, on a walk through a local community garden. Discover the ecological and social significance of urban gardens, learn about new concepts, and meet some of the local gardeners and explore their plots. After the tour, why not adjourn to the local garden café to share gardening tips and stories?
In Cooperation with Wüstenrot Foundation
