Kryvyi Rih city garden — community garden in an industrial city park

In Kryvyi Rih, one of Ukraine's main mining and steel cities, a civic initiative has tended a corner of a city park as a garden for eight years. Fruit trees and vegetables are grown in separate sections, with an information board naming the crops so park users can see food growing in the city.

Members of the civic initiative tend a plot inside a city park. It is split into a section for fruit trees and bushes and a section for vegetables, grown both directly in the ground and in containers. An information board lists everything planted so passers-by can see what is growing.

Run on a non-commercial basis by the civic initiative; funding details are not published.

Notable for bringing edible planting into an industrial city's park and sustaining it for eight years. No participant numbers or yields are published, and the source does not state the starting year, so it is left unknown.
