Are you interested in urban gardening? Want to learn about ongoing initiatives in Uppsala and get engaged in greening the city? Or are you perhaps already working on an urban gardening project and want to tell others about it?

Warmly welcome to this afternoon meeting at Kollaboratoriet Uppsala on Thursday May 11.

When: Thursday May 11, 15.15-17.00

Where: Kollaboratoriet Uppsala, Östra Ågatan 19, Uppsala

At the meeting, you will learn more about the ongoing “year of urban gardening” that Uppsala Municipality is enabling, with edible plants being planted all over Uppsala as well as specific “place-making initiatives” in Gottsunda, Gränby, Ulleråker and at Fyris Torg.

Kollaboratoriet Uppsala and CEMUS is also planning to install a “collaborative urban garden installation” by the Fyris river outside Kollaboratoriet Uppsala. If all goes as planned, the garden will be installed with the help of participants at a workshop on May 18 at Uppsala Sustainability Festival
