StuJardin

Hey fellow bloggers!

To start off gently, we won’t introduce you to some kind of new high-tech ecological miracle, but we will discuss something nearby. In last week’s session, we couldn’t help but notice that only a few people knew about the project StuJardin, presented by the girl from UGent1010. We thought this would be a great opportunity to learn more about the project.

The people of UGent1010 saw that students in Ghent absolutely love being outside. As soon as the sun comes out, all the parks in the city are flocked with them. Since having a green thumb is hip these days (we all know the highly admired tv-gardener Bartel Van Riet), the action committee wanted to offer something to those who don’t just want to sit around or play games outside.

So thanks to StuJardin we can all take our gardening skills one step further than the little basil plant on our windowsill and go to the Faculty of Bio-Engineering for some real sowing and weeding. There are weekly sessions but everyone is free to come and go whenever they want. There’s even a picnic bench to eat your own-grown treats immediately, for those who don’t want to let the grass grow under their feet!  ;)
