A vegetable garden in the city? It’s possible!

 

An urban vegetable garden – did you think it was impossible? Do you dream of growing your own vegetables and herbs, but live in the city?
Don’t worry! You too can tend to your tomatoes!
What are your options?

The community vegetable garden

 

Here, you will have the opportunity to grow your vegetables in a shared agricultural space!
In a friendly atmosphere, you can discover the joys of gardening. There is no need to be an expert, sharing skills and knowledge is the watchword here.

There are different types of community vegetable gardens:

  • one large plot for everyone
  • several small individual plots

Whatever the case, you will have the opportunity to forge relationships with people in your neighbourhood and rediscover the simple pleasure of working the soil.

Here, you should prioritise growing certain varieties. Make sure they do not spread too much and that they are easy to harvest.
Consider, for example:

  • Cherry tomatoes: they grow upwards and therefore do not require too much space
  • Courgettes: they are ‘foolproof’ to grow, and this vegetable will do all the work itself
  • Herbs: a few small pots will give you everything you need to enhance all your dishes
  • Raspberry canes: simply install a wire fence and the plant will climb up it all by itself!

Now that you have green fingers and your urban vegetable garden is about to take shape.
