Urban Green
This lovely community garden is from students, for students!
The garden is located at the APV Campus in Vlissingen. It offers spacious social areas with places to sit and a barbecue. On sunny days, students gather outside to enjoy snacks and drinks together in this common area. The green spaces offer them relaxation from the studies and a pleasant environment.
Juicy berries surround the various fruit trees that give organic pears and quinces. Finest quality cherry tomatoes and herbs spice up the garden, while colorful flowers naturally attract bees. A bee hotel is in the making, providing a home to these vital insects. Water and nutrients are supplied thanks to a pond collecting rainwater from the rooftop. The natural live hedge, home to insects, birds, and hedgehogs, outlines the garden.
Join us in protecting our green paradise by removing all litter (especially the toxic cigarette butts) and by taking off all the small flowers, plants, and trees!
We organize regular Gardening sessions for maintenance and clean-ups. We also gather on Fridays in the social area to catch up with each other and enjoy the sunshine!
