Grădina din Gura Siriului community garden (Bucharest, Romania)
Bucharest, Romania · Operator: 地域住民のコミュニティガーデン（Urban Nature Atlas に登録）
Overview
A community garden in the middle of Bucharest, said to be the only place of its kind for the 240,000 inhabitants of the surrounding quarter. Residents grow vegetables, herbs and flowers there and learn organic growing and composting hands-on. This database already holds the corporate-led Grădinescu network and the citizen-founded Urban CULTOR as Bucharest cases; this one is a single resident garden rooted in one neighbourhood, notable both for its small scale and for having no alternative nearby.
Citizen participation
Open as a space where residents grow vegetables, herbs and flowers, and where sustainable practices — organic growing and composting — are put into practice and passed on. It serves visitors as well as locals.
Operating model
The sources do not state the operating or funding arrangement, so none is recorded here. The garden is listed as a Bucharest case in the Urban Nature Atlas, the European inventory of nature-based solutions.
Impact
It functions as the one place in a quarter of 240,000 people where residents can grow food, and doubles as a demonstration site for organic growing and composting.
