In the concrete jungles of urban environments, we believe in sowing the seeds of change
Urban Gardens offer not just a city garden but a living classroom where students can witness the miracles of growth, learn about sustainable practices, and cultivate a sense of responsibility for our planet.
Inspired by the movement of Victory Gardens
The movement of Victory Gardens have played a crucial role in ensuring food security during periods of scarcity, particularly in the USA, Canada, and Europe during World War I and World War II and in Israel during the Independence War of 1948. These gardens are symbols of collective strength, determination, and the ability to overcome challenges through agriculture.
Nutritional Support
The area of the Western Negev produces 70% of vegetables in Israel. The October 7 massacre led to dramatic damage to agricultural infrastructures and to planting and harvesting cycles. Without agricultural produce from the fields and greenhouses, we expect a shortage of fruit and vegetables supplies.
Urban Gardens provide an additional source of fresh vegetables, reducing the dependency on distant food sources, thus contributing to food security and self-sufficiency in Israel.
Increasing mental health and resilience by growing your own crops
Gardening has been proven to have therapeutic benefits. It offers a sense of accomplishment, reduces stress, and fosters a connection with nature, promoting mental well-being.
Education: Science and Technologies
How to implement basic biological knowledge in establishing successful growing systems.
Our school program will educate and encourage pupils to grow their own Future Gardens, supported by professionals of the Volcani Institute. Teaching students to grow their vegetables using state-of-the-art technologies will foster an understanding of the environment, the food production process, and the importance of self-sufficiency. We will use sustainable agricultural practices and teach youngsters how to make environmentally conscious choices.
