Urban gardening is growing a green future!

Do you miss a fresh green touch in your city apartment or house? Urban gardening is becoming all the rage! A window, balcony, patio, deck or roof is all you need to create your own little garden. 

More and more people around the world are taking a look at urban gardening, which creates the possibility to grow your own food in the city. This “growing” trend enables us to decrease the long-distance transportation, which has a positive effect on our environment. Furthermore, we get the freshest  products possible.

Even Ghent University is getting on board! Along with JNM and the Ghent student council, UGent 1010 has recently started up Stujardin. This group of students gathers frequently to learn more about urban gardening and entices other students to participate. The University even put a piece of lawn on the FBW Coupure campus at the disposal of the organisation to grow their own vegetable garden.

Does this trend seems interesting to you and do you also want to ‘start-to-grow’? Go to the first growing night of StuJardin tomorrow, a workshop about gardening in the city! For further information, visit: http://www.facebook.com/events/204969862977280/.  

And if you want to go really mad, these are a few crazy examples:
