Synopsis

They garden in roughly decorated raised beds made of wood scraps or in corrugated cardboard lined plastic boxes, they plant tree slices and tiny beds between pavement and park strips - the new urban gardeners provide colour in Germany's cities. The movement is heterogeneous and confusing. But whether neighborhood, neighborhood or table gardens, whether in Hamburg, Berlin or Munich, all initiatives have one thing in common: the pleasure of the elementary experience of ordering a garden, to see something grow, to participate in the cycle of nature and last but not least: to procure a part of your own food yourself.
Martin Rasper's book is a knowledgeable guide through the new urban garden scene. In addition to introducing important protagonists and initiatives, he explains backgrounds: the origin of the garden as a demarcation from the wilderness; its rooting in our culture and the complex relationships in the ecosystem garden and its most important component, the soil. For those who prefer to get started immediately, there are numerous practical tips. An essential guide for all urban gardeners.
