URBAN UNIVERSITY GARDENS

Numerous and variegated urban gardens are starting in the green spaces of the University Centers in Turin. These gardens are autonomously worked and managed by the students. The functions of the university urban gardens are various: from the self production of vegetables, to the diffusion of the awareness of the food at zero kilometers, to the social and cultural integration among students and the community around them without forgetting some physical activity and relaxation in the open.

The group of Local Action for the Agenda 21 and the Association Nuovi Equilibri is organizing the Workshop University Urban Gardens for the promotion of the gardens and to lay the foundations for a widened university project. The workshop will take place at the university residence of Villa Claretta in Grugliasco on next 16th March starting from 6.00 p.m.
