Idejo so v Zraku ! some ideas in the air...

here are some projects that could fit in the garden, some of them are in the air, some other in minds, but they are all waiting for some hands to make them comimg down from the sky to the real soil...they are listed in the order of priority. But alongside with these projects, some less creative tasks are needed like cleaning and ordering the wooden shed for tools !

- to build the box of ideas and some attractive sign to explain it

- to finish building the compost toilets


- to add some signs alongside the recycling trash can ( see article about recycling)


- to make a real playground for children, a limited square with sand, some games drawn on the floor, some solid swings ( one of the two that were built has been destroyed), some musical instrument to play with)

- to highlight the signage and the promotion of the spot : a map of Pekarna, some directions to give a general atmosphere to the garden (with a kind of portal to define an entrance, a title maybe ...)

- to make some low brick walls and design some narrow and slopy paths on the floor


- to make some small hills to give relief to the place, to make a hole at the top of some of them in the shape of a sofa.


- to have a "relax" part with some comfortable chairs, tables...

- to add some plants and flowers, to explore the idea to have a vegetable garden, to plant some fruit trees.
- to have some animals


Ideas from volunteers


" finish painting the scupture black (oil base) ; compost might need a sturdier/long lasting door ; plants for prepared garden beds" (Shanon, Canada)



" put the rest of the mirror tiles on the fountain" ( Alex, Scotland)


" put a mirror in the bathroom"

" i would like to finish my zebra crossing, would like to make it myself because they are different directions to take. Don´t finish it i will be back in few months ! " (Amandine, Belgium)


" chill out zone" ( Eva, portugal)


" make the plan of Pekarna" (Laurent, belgium). see the explanation :






"give more green around Gustav, bring kids to the land of kids" ( Joao, Portugal) .
The land of the kids is an idea that is already being implemented in Portugal, in order to arise sensibility to your own environment : a parcel of soil is given to a group of children, and with the advice of some professional people they can plan, build whatever they wish, they are their own responsible.
