Greening the Camps
JOAmman, Jordan
A rooftop-garden project aiming to create a green oasis in dense, concrete refugee camps and reconnect refugees with their agricultural heritage. It offers a low-tech response to food insecurity and fosters community self-reliance, expanding from a prototype on the Jadal rooftop in Amman to implementation in Jerash refugee camp.

Community-based Urban Garden at Queen Rania Al Abdullah Park (Amman, Jordan)
JOAmman, Jordan
A project turning part of a large Amman park into a residents' garden. It is framed around three goals — raising green cover in the city, softening climate-change impacts and improving food security — and creates a place where residents and Syrian refugees cultivate together. It sits within the municipality's 2022–2026 strategic plan to establish 12 parks across the capital.

Jordan's first Urban Farming Training Centre (Al-Tafawuq Park, Amman)
JOAmman, Jordan
The first urban-farming training centre in Jordan, sited in a city park in Amman. Built to strengthen food security amid climate change and disrupted supply chains, it gives residents a place to learn how to grow vegetables and fruit trees in the city. The preceding project laid out a 6,000 m² community garden in the city and recovered 3,600 endangered trees using the Miyawaki planting method.

Anera Rooftop Garden project (Marka and Wehdat, Amman, Jordan)
JOAmman (Marka / Wehdat), Jordan
A project installing greenhouses on the rooftops of refugee and vulnerable households in Amman's Marka and Wehdat districts. Seventy-nine new greenhouses were completed in 2025, reaching 78 households and one preschool community garden. Families receive tools, seeds and training in garden management so the plots keep producing. Researchers at the University of Petra note the approach depends on lightweight planting materials, proper waterproofing and efficient irrigation.
