In keeping with the times: sustainable gardening

The avoidance of chemicals and the use of natural, reusable materials play a central role. As shown, a sustainable garden can be created in a variety of forms, be it on balconies or terraces.

In the context of climate change, it is becoming increasingly urgent to act in an environmentally conscious manner.

Dedicated gardeners for the future

The event in Mörfelden is part of a larger trend that is giving a boost to so-called community gardens and urban gardening projects. Since 2017, Deutsche Umwelthilfe has been investigating the ways in which gardens can contribute to climate protection as part of its “Gardens for the Future” project. By setting up natural model gardens and publishing handbooks, awareness is raised about the loss of biodiversity and global warming.
