A community garden will be established in Jyrkkälä by the summer of 2025 with the support of the Urban Biodiversity Parks project. This is part of the suburban projects of the Skanssi Biodiversity Park.

The aim is to increase community spirit, provide the opportunity to grow your own food together with others, and serve as a comfortable and safe place to spend time.

There is room for 30 people and each person will get their own grow box. We will also bring pots for group planting. If there are more people registered, we will draw places.

Everyone is responsible for the well-being of their own plants, but watering is done communally. Everyone waters all the boxes on their own turn.

The season starts in early June with a community planting. You can plant your own seedlings in your box or we can also bring ready-made seedlings. We help the farming community get started and support the activities by organizing community gardening events during the summer.

We will bring a total of 30 growing boxes, pots, and irrigation equipment to the farm.
