Friends of the Earth Malta is hosting its first Community Garden Kickoff at Xatt iċ-Ċangatura in Floriana tomorrow from 5.30 to 7.30pm.
The event is open to Floriana residents, stakeholders and volunteers to plan out activities and work in preparation for transforming a space into a garden that is open for all.
The Giving Garden will be an urban community garden where people will come together and learn to grow their own crops and herbs. This will be a new way to unite members of the community.
This project will develop a sense of ownership and belonging for all stakeholders and positively contribute to the therapeutic needs of these Maltese communities.
The environmental organisations would like to promote the importance and relevance of fresh and healthy local food and also highlight the importance of pollinators as keystone species.
