Together with the association Achterbahn we are happy about the nomination at this year’s “European Award for Ecological Gardening” in the category 3 – Gardens for Health, Care and Therapy!

The excellent therapy garden of the platform for people with mental impairment in district St. Peter in Graz, Hubertusstraße exists since 2016 and was for us one of the first implemented projects in this sector. In addition to a covered summer kitchen and terrace, there are several raised beds for organic vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers. The garden has become a popular meeting place for various activities and a venue for seminars, barbecues and weekly garden therapy sessions for association members as well as their relatives and visitors. Likewise, those seeking peace and quiet also get their money’s worth in the small but varied therapy garden away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This clearly underscores the relevance and versatility of access to quality green space for people in all walks of life.

“Nature in the Garden”, represented by the province of Lower Austria and the association “European Garden Association – Nature in the Garden International” and the “Nature in the Garden” GmbH award this prize in recognition of outstanding ecological horticultural achievements.
