Management and maintenance of urban vegetable gardens and biodiversity in the Ruttet building district
Context and objective
In Gland, in the Ruttet neighborhood, seven buildings accommodate a diverse range of tenants: families, children, and seniors, each with their own habits and lifestyle. To create connections between these neighbors, a shared vegetable garden project was launched with the support of Légumes Perchés. For three years, we have been supporting residents in the upkeep and management of these cultivated spaces, gradually transforming a simple lawn into a vibrant meeting place. The garden has become an anchor for neighborhood life, encouraging exchanges, sustainable actions, and civic engagement around a concrete project, accessible to all.
The solution implemented
Our vegetable garden management and maintenance service was designed to offer a simple, sustainable, and turnkey solution to all structures wishing to integrate a growing space. After a custom design, we install gardens adapted to the available space, enriched with perennial plants and natural mulch. Once the vegetable garden is in place, our annual support service takes over: we provide three participatory workshops with residents (sowing, maintenance, harvesting). We also manage registrations and the waiting list, so that everything is seamless and effortless for the site manager. The result: a vibrant, beautiful, and productive vegetable garden all year round, a true support for social connection and ecological transition, without ever falling into neglect.
