WHY OPT FOR URBAN GARDENS?
It is one of the current trends in many cities, the fashion of urban gardens does nothing but grow. The truth is that every time we are more committed to our environment which has led many residents to opt for the popular urban gardens. We tell you what they are, where to locate them and what their benefits are. Make your environment a more sustainable space!Living in the city does not have to push us to turn our back on nature. We can also grow our own vegetables if we live surrounded by huge buildings, large avenues and overcrowded capitals. In your hands is to opt for some of the urban gardens that already different municipalities and towns have placed in the hands of their neighbors or create your own urban garden at home. In reality, they are spaces where, like any other garden, we can grow our own food without having to go to the outskirts of the city, have a house in the countryside or go to an area traditionally used as a vegetable garden, always outside the epicenter of the big cities.

Types of urban gardens

Own urban garden. It does not matter if you have a terrace, live in an attic or have a balcony. In any way, you can have your own urban garden. Obviously the more space is better and if the soil is natural as well, but you can develop your urban garden in pots and similar containers to fill your balcony with life and nature.Urban garden shared in buildings. The most sustainable buildings have developed in the highest parts of them, areas enabled for gardens with irrigation systems, protection from the sun ... as if it were a traditional garden. The objective is that the neighbors themselves can be their own farmers.Urban vegetable garden at the foot of the building. Especially in the newly built buildings and as a complementary service for the neighbors, many builders have also defined an area for the community pool or leisure areas, they have also designed urban gardens for those neighbors who want it.

Benefits of urban gardens

There are many benefits of having urban gardens in the buildings themselves in large cities, apart from the satisfaction of having their own vegetables and vegetables with the consequent economic benefit that this implies. Urban gardens encourage self-consumption of food, provide new knowledge related to agriculture and gardening, improve the relationship with our environment, help create more sustainable environments and promote healthier practices for cities.But the thing does not end there. Another benefit of urban gardens is that they absorb noise in large cities, reduce and isolate heat, cool environments, help reduce pollution, improve the quality of the air we breathe, promote biodiversity and improve the relationship and the coexistence with other neighbors.And you, do not you still have an urban garden even on your balcony or terrace? Cheer up!
