Urban Gardening is the horticulture in cities, which is mostly small-scale. Typical examples in the city are courtyard and roof gardens. Urban Gardening has always existed, but the importance of this horticultural use of urban areas is growing. It's about sustainability, about the vegetables on your doorstep, also about cost reduction and last but not least about the important ecological aspects.
We want to teach our class members and other interested people how exactly such a garden works. On the internet you can read a lot about urban garding. During our project work we could perhaps interview a landscape gardener and learn more about the cultivation. We want to publish this information in order to motivate as many people as possible to run such an ecological garden.
