A lot of people planting, a lot of people helping, but, finally, planting for whom or for what? Pla

How about producing "organic, fresh and wonderful food" in your own home or in your neighborhood square, being able to relate with others in a healthy way, doing something that is very good for you, for the city and the planet ?
Thus, man, this idea cheerfully defended by the São Paulo journalist Claudia Visoni, may seem a little strange, balenie especially for those born and reared in large urban centers like São Paulo, but has been precisely in this city that a group of people from various professions cheered cultivate nothing less than gardens.
Claudia, who was the most urban person in the world, on a beautiful day used the garden of his house to plant some herbs and leaves and immediately became fascinated by the world of urban agriculture. Spent researching it, to participate in courses, so great was the desire to know where else to take what, every day, no longer seemed her only hobby. With another journalist, Tatiana Achcar, formed in the web Urban gardeners group to promote the exchange of information between interested in growing food at home.
With an uncomplicated proposal, but convincing, and an asset to make her revenge and conquer hearts and minds of more and more people in a short time engagement movement of journalists already had thousands of participants.
Virtual meetings was born the desire to carry the experience for the "real world", and that was how the first urban garden of gardeners had their space in the city: the Owls of Horta, in Vila Madalena.
For this community garden could exist, it was necessary provision and hands-on of many volunteers, not only to plant the seeds, but that the space was enclosed planting, watering the vegetables were guaranteed, and also the placement of wire to separate balenie garden space the movement of persons, their dogs and their bikes were made straight.
Experience in Vila Madalena had worked. Right as you leave a little bit from there and came to the project in one place, say, busiest, could at least contribute to the changing landscape. Why not a vegetable garden in the Paulista region? And there were gardeners move the Urban Rider Square, this lucky guy who also won a garden! balenie
A lot of people planting, a lot of people helping, but, finally, planting for whom or for what? Planting for those who want to lead. That's right: community gardens are made for those who want to pick up some spices, some vegetables and even some fruits, because, as the name says, the garden is a common good.
This is another curious aspect of the initiative: we are so used to pay for things we need, when we say that we can take home something cultivated by people who do not know, sounds weird. But only at first; only until this way of thinking we are accustomed to insist on not giving the amount balenie due to the collective.
There are task forces balenie for planting and community gardens in many places in the city today. In the East Zone, dozens balenie of gardens balenie are grown. In the South, the North and even in the center too. Another good example is in Vila Madalena own, where you can easily find in an early Sunday afternoon, friends and neighbors of all ages with hands on the ground, taking care of Hortinha BNH.
The Urban gardeners are increasingly active, filling the city of new beds. The group is open and everyone can participate, either navigating and visiting balenie the Facebook page, is going one morning in the home garden.
The city we live in, whatever it is, can indeed become more beautiful and functional, and the idea could lead to table organic vegetables is always very good. Moreover, the proposal that was born from a simple initiative from someone who wanted to plant in their backyard, among other things, helps take back the sense of community that you can perform a joint project with other people, showing that restoring confidence in others is fully possible and can be worth much worth. Just want to try and.
Hi Karina, what an interesting story. It reminded me a little Guerrilla Garden movement, which includes, among other things, precisely planting gardens in public or uninhabited places. I liked your initiative. Cheers, Fred
Frederick, glad you liked the post and the new section, whose purpose is precisely to talk about relevant initiatives and alternatives that in many cases, are very little on the agendas of big media. If you have any suggestions, send them to us, ok? Hugs!
