Gardening meet up (in Slovenian)

The Gardening meet up brings together a community of gardening enthusiasts who care for the green oasis in the park of Center rog. At the meetings, we will plan and maintain raised beds, exchange seeds, and discuss suitable varieties for urban gardening.

Together we will sow, plant, and care for the plants, exchange experiences, and share practical tips. We will also focus on composting and explore sustainable gardening practices. We will follow the plants from seed to harvest – part of the harvested vegetables will occasionally be used in communal cooking.

We have already completed two successful gardening seasons, during which we grew a diverse range of vegetables. Cucumbers, zucchini, and sweet peas thrived especially well, and we also experimented with less common plants, such as Mexican cucumbers and peanuts. This year, with new knowledge and experience, we expect an even richer season.

With the help of the participatory budget, we also secured funding for a greenhouse, which will be placed next to the raised beds and used for growing seedlings.

The workshop is open to all gardening enthusiasts, regardless of prior experience. Everyone who wants to connect with a community of gardeners, share their knowledge, and gain new skills in urban gardening is welcome.

Spring season dates (5:00 PM to 7:00 PM):
April 21, May 5, May 19, June 2, June 16, June 30, July 14, and July 28, 2026.
Autumn season dates will be announced in July.
