Wednesday, 21 April 2021 - 7 minutes
Caroline Dommen talks to WRS about the urban gardens around Geneva; from window boxes and balcony gardens, to shared allotments spaces. Furthermore, she explains the "48h" events happening this weekend where we can access many of those public and private garden spaces as well as learn more about urban gardening to see and share methods.
The full programme for Geneva is here.
Some of the highlights in English include the screening of the film "Kiss the Ground" - viewing will be online or in a public venue on Saturday 24 April. There's also an English gardener offering a "pimp my garden" workshop at the Ecoquartier in Jonction- all about how to grow food and herbs in a pot, on a windowsill or on a balcony, run by Les Défricheuses
The "48 hours of urban agriculture" event was initiated in Paris and has progressively grown, now taking place throughout France, Belgium, Spain now Geneva, Switzerland!
