Putting down roots in the new homeland
Harnessing their own gardening experience, the women work their plots largely independently. They learn about organic farming and discuss the cultivation or exploitation and use of herbs, fruit and vegetables. Women gardening experts accompany these processes and support participants in their personal development. The women's children spend some of their free time in the garden, which is a place for socializing and potentially making contacts that go beyond the garden fence. Monthly meetings take place during the winter. They are opportunities to pass on tips for conserving and processing produce from the allotments, to swap recipes, learn sewing techniques and to discuss health promotion measures.
