In an effort to foster green spaces and sustainable living in the heart of Trieste, a comprehensive training program titled “Urban Gardens and Greenery 2024” is set to kick off this Thursday, March 7th, at 5:30 PM. Located on Via Modiano, 5, renowned horticulturalist Paolo Parmegiani will unveil insights and strategies under the theme, “The Olive Tree in the Coastal Area: Experiences and Suggestions.”
Organized by the Urbi et Horti group in conjunction with Legambiente Trieste, Bioest, and the Municipality of Trieste, the initiative aims to empower aspiring horticulturists and green enthusiasts, irrespective of space constraints. Offering free admission, the program seeks to equip participants with the necessary tools and methodologies to propagate social agriculture initiatives within their communities.
Comprising four modules, each spanning two hours, the curriculum blends theoretical foundations with hands-on experiences facilitated by seasoned experts in agriculture, botany, and environmental conservation. Participants who complete a minimum of four modules will be awarded a prestigious participation certificate.
According to Tiziana Cimolino, one of the organizers, the program transcends mere gardening; it represents a holistic approach to sustainable living, promising manifold benefits for individuals and the environment alike. “Cultivating even a small plot of land using natural, organic, or permaculture methods is an accessible endeavor with profound positive implications,” she remarked.
The course structure includes interactive sessions, practical demonstrations, and field visits guided by master farmers, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of urban gardening techniques. Topics range from soil enrichment to crop rotation, tailored to accommodate diverse skill levels and interests.
As the global movement towards sustainable living gains momentum, initiatives such as the “Urban Gardens and Greenery 2024” course provide a blueprint for urbanites to reconnect with the land and cultivate greener, healthier communities.
