Sunday 10 November was a special day: we officially opened the Orti Urbani in Cascina Falchera, a project that represents the return to the land and the community. In recent months, we have worked passionately to transform abandoned land into shared green spaces, where anyone can grow not only vegetables, but also relationships and ideas.

There are now around a hundred plots of various sizes available, open to private individuals and associations. But we don’t stop here! The project includes workshops, courses and activities to discover sustainable cultivation, respecting the environment and abandoning chemical fertilizers.

Gardens are not only a way to produce healthy food, but also to rediscover the value of collaboration and living together. Come visit us and find out how to be part of it!

The new gardens are born as part of the collaboration between two different projects: Urban Agroforestry Ecosystem, supported by the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation and of which Urban Lab is a partner, which aims to transform urban areas into real food forests, with the creation of green spaces for animals and communities according to new ecological management models, and CoFarm4cities, a project financed by Interreg, which aims to develop a replicable model for the sustainable management of peri-urban agricultural areas.
