Why Social Vegetable Gardening?

During conversations with Utrecht residents with a small budget in 2022, it turned out that some people would like a vegetable garden, but do not have a garden. There are also people with a garden that grows over their heads. Together with Social Work students from Hogeschool Utrecht, we tried to find both groups and get them to garden together, sharing the proceeds. People who want help in their garden are easier to find than people who want to keep someone else's vegetable garden. Read here what we have discovered so far.

On 15 November 2023, we brainstormed about social vegetable gardening with visitors of De Voorkamer in Lombok. On 27 November 2023, Alice Bezett led a breakout group about social vegetable gardening during the workshop Enable sustainable living with a small budget in the Social Impact Factory aan de Gracht.
