The concept?
You grow
your own food without any use of toxic substances in city gardens available for
everyone. You can obtain advice from neighbours or friends if you don’t have
“green fingers”. The idea behind the whole concept is that natural material may
not be lost. You reuse materials in order to get your own food and to protect
the environment.
Looking for a good reason to participate?
Don’t
hesitate no longer! Those who don’t have the space to have a lovely garden or
those in favour of social contact (and you have to admit, that goes for all of
us), will love the idea. You can grow your own vegetables, weave a wall of
willow branches like a real scout or produce your own honey by building a
beehive.
Where can you find these green places?
Even in a university
town like Ghent, allotment gardens are popping up. You can discover the real
gardener in yourself in one of the four allotment gardens in Ghent: one in
Sint-Amandsberg, one in Gentbrugge and two in the city centre of Ghent.

I like the idea because I have a very small garden myself, so growing my own vegetables in an allotment garden would be a nice alternative. Moreover, I don’t have “green fingers” at all, so I could definitely use some help of neighbours and friends!
