Ghent urban horticulture working group

It is important to share knowledge and exchange experiences. An urban network was set up to enable interested parties and/or experts to exchange ideas, information and experiences concerning various horticultural and agricultural initiatives in the Ghent area. The Site contributes to this initiative hoping to see the urban horticulture concept develop not only as a foundation for economic output but also as a promoter of significant social output and solidarity.
