Urban Gardening: How to Start and Maintain a Successful Garden

Urban gardening is gaining traction worldwide, with numerous organizations and individuals in Germany promoting its benefits. From mental health to climate change mitigation, starting an urban garden can be rewarding. Here's how to begin and maintain a successful urban garden.

First, assess your environment and available space. Consider your plant-eating habits and other needs when planning, aiming to grow at least 10% of your diet. Organizations like NaturFreunde Berlin, anstiftung, and BUND support urban gardening, providing resources and advice.

To maintain plant health, avoid overcrowding and prune regularly. Use natural pest control methods and water plants in the early morning or late evening to prevent rapid evaporation. Gardening is encouraged in the sunnah, offering personal and environmental benefits.

Climate change affects daily life, including extreme weather, poor air quality, and plant diseases. Urban and peri-urban agriculture is recognized as a key strategy for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Preparing compost from kitchen waste organically boosts soil health and promotes plant growth.

Starting an urban garden can reconnect you with the soil, provide a refreshing environment, and contribute to climate change mitigation. With proper planning, maintenance, and support from local organizations, urban gardening can improve mental health, boost productivity, and enhance your daily life.
