Management and maintenance of urban vegetable gardens and biodiversity in the OASSIS district

Context and objective

The OASSIS neighborhood in Crissier is an innovative urban project, built on a former industrial wasteland, combining housing, offices, shops, and public spaces. Comprised of several open residential blocks around a large central garden, it offers a functional mix and promotes biodiversity thanks to rooftops converted into vegetable gardens and equipped with photovoltaic panels.

As a dense, mineral neighborhood open to all Crissier residents, it was essential to privatize the rooftops to provide tenants with direct access to nature, biodiversity, and shared vegetable gardens, thus creating a veritable green lung and a welcoming space in the heart of this urban environment.

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.
