Our motive

We'd like to play our part to protect the climate

 

Concept: to bring together gardens from people who don't want to culture them any longer with individuals who enjoy growing their own vegetables, berries and flowers; gardens can of course be shared as well.

 

Objective: precious land is used for a healthy purpose; isn't it a shame that a lot of those spaces are covered in lawn, stones and asphalt?

 

Gardening brings many advantages, such as:

  • reconnecting with nature
  • home grown healthy nutrition
  • floral splendor
  • sensible use of precious land 
  • avoiding of long chains of transports and packaging
  • fostering insects and small animals
  • relaxation and stress reduction
  • stimulates social interaction
  • and much more

 

Anyone can post their ad, we will check and publish it; it is self-evident that we are grateful for any donation

so we can go on with the project.

 

It is very important to us that any action is environmentally friendly: allow for nature to take its course, without the

application of artificial pesticides and fertilizers, we thank you very much!

 

Donations:

Are welcome, thank you! (bank account CH44 0839 0039 9880 1000 0), it is all privately funded. We would like to stick to working without advertising and without social media.

“my advertisement on your website has already proven effective (allotment available). a lady who doesn’t have a garden of her own and has similar gardening interests  got in touch and has been using
the allotment for a few weeks now. I would like to leave the advertisement up, as there is still space for a second gardener. I  like the idea of sharing my garden with others. thank you for creating this opportunity!" (july 2019)

 

“your advertisement quickly generated interest from a person who was interested in growing tomatoes. unfortunately
I was not able to continue the project as the new tenant wanted to take over the garden.” (july 2019)

 

"we are really happy with the project. I could already gain two people for my garden by horterre.ch. unfortunately the first person had to stop working in teh garten due to health problems. your webiste is a wonderful idea!" (june 2019)
