GROWING

Although a shared interest in vegetables and gardening has grown exponentially, the availability of urban land, even accessibility to traditional allotments and community gardens remains the same.

In addition, most ordinary people who are born and raised in a city environment have very little collective knowledge about gardening and planting, but this also applies for policy makers and land owners as well.

In order to grow in the city, one would usually apply for an allotment or stay within a private garden. However the issue in doing so is that the soil often is contaminated, that it isn’t thick enough or that the space assigned is too small or unfit for all the different steps of growing and gardening. For this reason, Urban Cultivate presents an entirely new way of cultivating urban areas, through clusters.
