 +===== Urban Gardening - one of the forms of urban agriculture ===== 
 + 
 +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.

 +===== Urban Gardening & Sustainable City ===== 
 + 
 +Urban gardening often appears in urban space in places where something new is created. 
 +Globally, the proportion of people living in cities is growing rapidly. Especially in cities, it is 
 +important to design developments in such a way that local solutions are sought that 
 +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, and economic) (Figure 2).

 + 
 +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, 
 +biodiversity can be experienced, sensor technology is used...
