In
this day of snow in Milan, is back again to talk about urban garden,
this time the project enters (or leaving?) directly from the art
world.
We
know that urban gardens can bloom in the weirdest of places, also on
an old unused ship crane docked at Bonapartedok, the Belgian port
city of Antwerp. Here the Belgian art collective Time Circus, built
their great green space, and outfitted with a tree-house made out of
recycled materials and a chicken coop. Another cute feature from the
floating garden is a glazed greenhouse.
Commissioned
by the Antwerp’s MAS Museum, the floating Welvaert Welton garden is
designed to engage locals and visitors with sustainable urban farming
practices, through community workshops on composting and homemade
cider parties. Not only is there a vegetable garden, there's also a
kitchen where food can be prepared using ingredients straight from
the garden. Urban agriculture is not just about producing one’s own
vegetables but more about creating an urban living, working and
meeting place.
This
experimental garden project is temporary, intended to go on until
2014. It is one cool example of taking back abandoned city spaces,
and they can become green and productive.
Time
Circus said that is ready to travel to far off places to spread the
idea...
