Developed garden plots in Benckiserpark
In a delightful display of community spirit and sustainable upcycling, Benckiser Park in Pforzheim now boasts six new raised beds for community gardening. The project, a collaborative effort between multiple organizations, has transformed old materials into a vibrant, green space for everyone to enjoy.
The raised beds, located in front of the Benckiser Hall, were created using sustainable "upcycling" methods from the former school fence of Nordstadtschule. This eco-friendly approach is commendable and sets a fine example of successful repurposing.
Sandra Heitkamp, head of the Green Space and Civil Engineering Department, praised the project, stating, "It's a great example of successful upcycling." The Volksmission Matthias Brandtner Pforzheim, a community leader involved in the project, and the social employment agency Q-Prints&Service GmbH, also contributed to the collaboration.
Grünwerk, part of the "BIWAQ WIN.Pf - Perspectives foster" funded neighborhood management at Q-Prints&Service, will provide professional guidance and support for the raised beds. Thomas Schäfer, project manager at Grünwerk, will monitor the raised beds throughout the year and offer assistance as needed.
Two of the raised beds are specifically designed for wheelchair users, making the space accessible for all. This inclusivity is a testament to the project's commitment to fostering a community garden that caters to everyone's needs.
For those interested in planting herbs, strawberry plants, and more in the raised beds, the city administration invites you to contact [email protected]. The joint management and maintenance of the raised beds are shared by the city and the Volksmission, ensuring their continued success.
