Grünes Zimmer

At the Frankfurt City Farm run by the Gemüseheld:innen, the ‘Grünes Zimmer’ is to be created with the help of many volunteers: a place for education, exchange and positive visions for the future. Public participatory activities will bring people together to tackle the task at hand!

With an area of 4,600 square metres, Frankfurt City Farm is the largest site operated by GemüseheldInnen. Here, more than 30 volunteers work together to combat the climate crisis using permaculture principles. They grow fresh fruit and vegetables for their own consumption – and cultivate a community that strengthens each other, united by a shared desire for a liveable, climate-friendly future.

The sense of self-efficacy gained through gardening restores confidence and often helps to combat climate anxiety and resignation. We would like to share this experience with as many people as possible – and together create a place for exchange and education: the ‘Green Room’. But first, we need to pool all our resources, because the spacious garden shed is still packed away, weatherproofed, on our premises. Through public participatory activities, we want to lay the foundations, build the garden shed, paint it, furnish it and add an outdoor kitchen.
