🏢 About the local organisation
The North of Amiens is lucky to be benefitting from areas of community gardens on its territory. The Community Garden Association of La Plaine de Debussy gathers almost 200 gardeners who cultivate their parcels of land every year. The main goal of this action is to introduce this area to a great number of people and to highlight it through pedagogical activities. As part of the festival “Un Jardin en Nord”, the Youth Activity Centre of the neighbourhood wishes to set up a workcamp on the community gardens area. It is the first work camp in this municipality, you will be awaited with great eagerness and a lot of meetings with the local inhabitants will be set. You’ll be participating at the music festival “Un Jardin en Nord.”
💼 What the programme involves
Your tasks will consist with different creation periods: building a bread oven, creating a plastic waste sculpture with a plastic artist, building seed libraries and insect hotels in order to encourage local biodiversity and finally participating to the festival.
