Healthy treats from the new Generations Garden in Hoyerswerda!

The vbff association in Hoyerswerda has big plans. An herb and vegetable garden was launched in April 2025, designed to not only revolutionize local cooking but also contribute to the health of the community. With inventiveness and passion, the club's two chefs want to create healthy and tasty recipes. According to the report by Säschsische.de From September 2025, a variety of events on the topic of healthy eating will be offered in the “House of Encounters” on Ulrich-von-Hutten-Straße.

The “Garden of Generations” is another exciting project. Parents and grandparents work here hand in hand with their children and grandchildren. Together they look after the beds and raised beds, which are stocked with exquisite herbs and vegetables. The harvest goes straight into the kitchen – fresh and full of flavor. The project is pleased about financial support from the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as state funds.

Benefits of growing your own herbs and vegetables

The idea of ​​using home-grown crops goes hand in hand with a trend that is taking hold in many cities: urban gardening. How Pro Local describes, growing vegetables and herbs on balconies or in community gardens not only promotes enjoyment, but also biodiversity in urban areas. More and more people are discovering the benefits of organic farming and are avoiding chemical fertilizers.

A self-designed vegetable garden can work wonders - not only for your taste buds, but also for your health. When planning, it is important to pay attention to the needs of the plants. A well-thought-out planting plan that takes into account both mixed crops and individual crops ensures that yields remain constant. With a clever selection of plants, you can even keep pests away: the scent of carrots, for example, drives away onion pests. In this way, the garden is not only productive, but also sustainable, as explained in the explanations garden.de can be read.

A meeting place for generations

The planned garden is more than just a place for cultivation; it is a meeting place for generations. With a fireplace and barbecue area in the “Garden of Generations”, healthy eating can be experienced in practice: fatty meat dishes are a thing of the past. Instead, light, tasty options are on the menu. It's about not only learning to cook, but also discovering the joy of preparing food together.
