Have you ever helped plant a seed? Welcome to the MitMachGarten Fasanenhof. This isn’t just any garden. It’s a vibrant community space where everyone is welcome to participate.
The MitMachGarten Fasanenhof began in May 2023. It occupies land generously provided by the city of Stuttgart. You can find it near Ehrlicher Weg 21D and in the Bürgergarten by the Kinder- und Jugendhaus. More plots might be added later.
This community garden operates on a collaborative principle. Together the gardeners decide what to plant. They support each other. The result is a beautiful array of herbs and vegetables. Basil currykraut dill and many more grow here. Even colorful flowers thrive attracting beneficial insects.
One of the remarkable aspects of the MitMachGarten is its commitment to ecological practices. They prioritize seed saving and utilize heirloom varieties. Recycled materials are favored for constructing the garden beds. Any wood purchased is sourced sustainably. Harmful chemicals are strictly avoided. This makes the MitMachGarten a haven for wildlife. Water conservation is also a priority. They actively use permaculture techniques like mulching. Any waste is responsibly collected and disposed of properly.
The most delightful detail might be the simple rule: Naschen ist erlaubt. Meaning snacking is allowed. However it is important to remember snacking without bags. They want as many people as possible to share in the fruits of their labor.
This garden is more than just a place to grow food. It’s a place to connect with nature and your community. It’s a place where friendships blossom just like the plants. The MitMachGarten Fasanenhof is a testament to the power of cooperation and sustainability. It’s a small but significant contribution to a greener Stuttgart. Enjoy your time exploring this special place. Remember to treat the garden with respect. Let’s all help keep the MitMachGarten flourishing.
