BBM Gardens: Experiences of a social organization's social garden experiment

Summary/Abstract: The question how to revitalise and start to rebuild social relations in an integrated way in an ever-changing urban context is an increasingly timely question. To ensure that individuals do not live alienated and isolated, but socially embedded and organised in communities is a priority. Secondly, to promote their economic well-being, and thirdly, to promote adaptation to environmental challenges are also key goals among those who care about the future. This holistic approach is represented by the Budapest Bike Maffia, a grassroots initiative in the capital city, who use social gardening as a tool to make the relationship between vulnerable groups and their environment more sustainable. In the context of urban agriculture, they are not only building seedlings, but also trust and a network of relationships between the members of the society.
