Die “Allianz für StadtgärtnerInnen” möchte das Urban Gardening in Erfurt fördern und damit Naturverbundenheit und Gemeinschaftssinn entwickeln.

Unsere Vision ist die Essbare Stadt Erfurt wie in Andernach am Rhein mit Gärten für Alle.

Die “Allianz für Stadtgärtner” versteht sich als ein Bündnis gleichgesinnter und gleichberechtigter urbaner Gärtner. Sie ist eine Einladung gemeinsam mehr zu bewegen und mit der Macht kleiner Aktionen, die Stadtgesellschaft in Zeiten des Wandels zu stärken.
