Paderborn's intercultural garden: Together against dryness!

Paderborn's intercultural garden: Together against dryness!

Wollmarktstraße, 33098 Paderborn, Deutschland - The intercultural garden on Wollmarktstraße in Paderborn has developed into a scene of the joint learning and creativity. The opening of the project, which was initiated by Iris Pape, the VHS specialist for health, attracted numerous interested parties. The city of Paderborn provided the required properties, and since 2017 the areas have been made up there with the support of ten job seekers from the job center. Visitors and garden lovers can look forward to creative events and VHS courses that are offered in this context.

The garden not only aims at the beautification of life, but also promotes intercultural cooperation. The mayor of Paderborn, Michael Dreier, emphasized the importance of this aspect, which is also supported by the participation of participants from different countries - including Uzbekistan, Russia, Spain and Iran. The participants not only bring their cultures, but also actively maintain the garden.

threatened allotment gardens

In the meantime, the adjacent allotment garden of the German-foreign friendship committee (DAF) faces challenges. Here there is a risk of threatening demolition by building a new railway bridge. The association chairman Nermin Omerinovic expressed the hope that not all 48 plots are affected. This throws shadows on the plans and could also meet Giovanni Lisia, a long -time gardener, who appreciates the cultural diversity and harvest of his garden.

The allotment gardeners support the VHS garden in a variety of ways, be it by providing plants, equipment, water supply or toilet use. This cooperation illustrates how important the exchange and support are among different groups in the community.

urban gardening for quality of life

The concept of Urban Gardening is not only very popular in Paderborn, but also in many cities in the world. It is about forming communities and counteracting isolation in urban surroundings. Projects are often shaped by flexibility and creativity, which can also be observed in the design of gardens. City gardeners in Germany use mobile gardens and rely on recycling instead of high -tech to create habitats.

While the intercultural garden in Paderborn flourishes, it remains to be seen how the situation of the neighboring allotment gardeners will develop. Nevertheless, the hopes and the common spirit give both the new and the endangered gardens a voice that stands for diversity and intercultural understanding.
