Social Gardening for Impact – Join Us in Greening the Neighborhood!
Want to make a real, tangible impact in a Rotterdam neighbourhood? Join us for an afternoon of social gardening, where we’ll be creating front gardens together with the local community. As we garden, you’ll get the chance to connect with fellow changemakers and residents, all working towards a greener, more vibrant city.
This event is part of Project Wijk in Bloei – an initiative of the European Urban Initiative and Mathenesse aan de Maas, aimed at revitalizing urban spaces through community-led action.
We gather at 12:45 at Pinasplein 3a in Rotterdam, just a short walk from Schiedam Centrum station. After a brief introduction, we’ll roll up our sleeves and get to work — all tools and materials for the gardening will be ready and waiting. From planting flowers to creating new façade gardens, you’ll be contributing directly to a greener neighbourhood.
And after all that effort? Starting around 15:00, we’ll wind down with a relaxed BBQ, where we can celebrate our collective impact, share stories, and enjoy some good food together — as long as the weather plays along!
This is a collaboration between local residents and impact-driven volunteers — come ready to get your hands dirty and your heart inspired!
