Community gardens of the Plan
The Office of Environmental Services is promoting a project for community gardens, located on Carrer del Pla, between Carrer Ramon y Cajal and Carrer Rupert Lladó. The plots are 40 m2 and are small-scale sustainable farming sites within the city.
The beneficiaries of this municipal initiative are people living in Sant Feliu with an interest in organic farming, and space is also given to the needs of people with difficulties in finding employment and men and women in long-term unemployment duration, without coverage and with dependent relatives.
The main objectives of this urban agriculture project are:
- Awareness of the citizens about the values of land and the environment.
- Highlight local food and organic farming.
- Recover agriculture, minimizing the use of chemical fertilizers and insecticides.
- Promote local production, consumption of healthy and seasonal foods.
- Provide an integrative solution for people at risk of social exclusion.
- Create social networks, encouraging collective work, social cohesion and the well-being of people.
- Promoting healthy lifestyles.
To carry out the initiative, the City Council is collaborating with Tarpuna, a non-profit cooperative with extensive experience in the field of training and organic and social agriculture.
There is a continuous support for the users of the orchards, through the presence of an agricultural technician, and a social educator, who dynamize the project and convene the assemblies and advise the gardeners, who also receive regular training on the ecological cultivation of the plots. .
