An increasing number of residents are finding solace in the art of urban gardening and beekeeping in Trieste. Spearheaded by the collaborative efforts of Urbi et Horti, Legambiente Trieste, Bioest, and the Municipality of Trieste, a comprehensive training course has been designed to equip enthusiasts with the necessary knowledge and skills to cultivate green spaces in the heart of the city.
Scheduled for Thursday, April 4th, at 5:30 PM, the upcoming session will feature Zenaide Vedelago delving into the intricate world of pollinator insects, with a special focus on beekeeping. Drawing from personal experiences, Vedelago promises to shed light on the crucial role of these insects in urban biodiversity.

Notably, the initiative also aims to cultivate a sense of community and shared responsibility towards the environment. By engaging participants in discussions on common goods and social agriculture, organizers hope to foster a culture of sustainability and environmental stewardship.
