+ | Gardens in the city have always existed. In Kamp-Lintfort too, gardens have been an integral | ||
+ | part of the urban landscape from the very beginning. Not only the monastery garden at | ||
+ | Kamp Monastery is known beyond the city limits, but also in the Kamp-Lintfort Altsiedlung, | ||
+ | one of the largest works housing estates in the region, the house gardens provide a special | ||
+ | flair of the mining and garden city. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In recent years, urban gardening, and urban agriculture in their various forms (see Figure 1) | ||
+ | have experienced a real boom. The mentioned types of urban agriculture can also be found | ||
+ | in great variety here in the Wesel district. In addition to a number of urban gardening and | ||
+ | community garden projects, there are also self-harvest gardens and a solidarity agriculture. | ||

+ | harmonise environment and climate as well as the social, cultural, and economic needs of the | ||
+ | people. The needs of future generations should also be taken into account. Many studies | ||
+ | show that Urban Gardening can provide positive impulses for urban development in all three | ||
+ | dimensions of sustainability (social, environmental, | ||

+ | It is therefore not surprising that Urban Gardening projects have been developed in many | ||
+ | places in recent years, including here on the outdoor area of the Green FabLab. In many | ||
+ | cities, green oases of gardening are being created in a small area, for local cultivation of | ||
+ | herbs and vegetables in urban surroundings. They offer space for planting, harvesting & | ||
+ | composing, for meeting and interacting with those living in the vicinity. In the garden one | ||
+ | can learn tolerance and the conscious use of areas in the city, where land is particularly | ||
+ | valuable. Urban gardening on the outdoor area of the Green FabLab enables joint learning, | ||
