Community Garden - Kraków (PL)
The Community Garden on Siemaszki Street in Krakow (Poland) was established in 2016 through the initiative of the local community with the support of the The Kraków Municipal Greenspace Authority. It is a central space within the neighborhood used for cultivating plants, providing children's play areas, and offering relaxation and leisure opportunities. The garden fosters a unique, familial atmosphere helpful to the development of social bonds and cooperation.
For many years local community faced a need of replacing old and rotten flower beds.
Together we revitalized the area with stunning wooden flower beds, replacing old ones, and providing essential accessories like premium wood oil and soil supply.
Collaboration outcome:
Keep it growing! 🌻
As the next step, we supported the Community Garden in Reduta Park, Cracow, by covering the cost of installing a water supply system. Established in 2020, the garden faced a significant challenge due to its distance from the existing water infrastructure, which led to a shortage of water. To address this issue, we collaborated with city authorities to develop a solution. This involved installing a water fountain and a pressure pump, ensuring reliable access to water for both the Community Garden members and local residents. This initiative not only resolved the water supply challenge but also enhanced the functionality and accessibility of the park for the community.
Spread the change! 🌱
We are proud to support the young and vibrant initiative of De Dokkerij, located in De Nieuwe Dokken, Ghent, Belgium. At this early stage, we are providing essential equipment, young plants, and other resources to help this community garden thrive. It is inspiring to witness the dedication, hard work, and community involvement as people come together to make their local space greener and more sustainable! 💚
