The idea to create a community garden began with the wish to share our rooftop terraces and the garden next to the church with the public, and fill it with greenery, bees and cultural program.
The most accessible part of the community garden is located in the yard on the left side of the church and serves as a haven for our bees. There are also planters with garden flowers, which need to be watered regularly. For those interested in helping out in the garden, we can offer the area close to the fencewhere you can create a new flower bed and beautify the yard.
The lower terrace was renovated first. It is primarily used for cultural events, such as outdoor cinema, concerts and other gatherings. If needed, there's also a temporary outdoor bar, which offers beer, wine, lemonade or filtered coffee during programs, or a grill. For rentals, there are facilities in the form of a kitchen and toilet. When it comes to gardening, there are areas with flower pots free to use and its possible to retrieve a shared community planter, which is currently empty.
The upper terrace also serves as a community garden and operates in a form of a yearly planter rental. Each tenant manages their own planter themselves. The bonus of this terrace is a beautiful view of the Prague skyline. All the planters are already rented for next season.
For further information contact our community worker Rozálie: rozalie@kpsmichov.cz.
We're glad that our terraces contribute to the goal to increase greenery in urban areas, support the bee population restoration, and serve to the general public by helping to bond over shared activity, building a healthier, more resilient network of human connections, increasing the quality of life and creating a responsible and caring local community. The project was supported by the Prague 5 City District and Via Foundation with the help of Hornbach company.
