Communication

In the context of urban gardening, it is very important to understand that communication is first of all designated for promoting local inclusive activities of the community rather than for the outside. Therefore, the selected method of communication should respond to the nature of local behavior and possibilities. The bottom line is that community members need to get information effectively and understand it easily. External communication designated for informing about the project and inviting stakeholders to participate may be presented in a more creative form, thus spreading the message about the idea of urban gardening itself.
