🏢 About the local organisation
Els 'Horts del Soler' is a place where the people of Sant Feliu de Pallerols historically went to the community garden. The project aims to recover a polyvalent area in which, apart from the orchards, there are areas of aromatic plants, an edible forest, a playground and a verger. Generate pedagogical and educational spaces, as well as playful and intergenerational interaction, enhancing the tourist's interest in the area.
