EU’GO experimentations
Orti Urbani Garbatella The first year of EU’GO project was dedicated to the discovery of the other national and European realities and to the exchange of ideas. During the second year gardeners that participated to the Study Visits will implement in their urban garden a Good Practice that they observed in another country. A reflection activity on their learning process and acquisition of competences will take place, so in the end will contribute to the creation of tools used in the e-learning webpage , in order to give the opportunity to other gardeners to continue experimenting and learning!
Luigi di Paola, Italian participant to the Study Visit in Germany in June 2012, saw for the first time some insect houses And gets informed about the utility of the insects in the garden..

Orti Urbani Garbatella INSECT HOUSE
To finalise the result, the art-gardener Sylviane Borghesi worked on a visual panel about the role of the insects, to install close to the house. From now on, those will visit the Garbatella Urban Gardens will learn how to recognise the insects and how to protect them!
In April the Garbatella gardeners infected also the Hortus Urbis of the Appia Antica Park. During the Think Green Festival, an intergenerational group collaborated to create an Insect House with natural materials, supported by the gardeners.
