Hello,

Thank you for submitting this suggestion to the suggestion box.

This is an excellent initiative to adapt community gardens for older adults. However, it’s important to note that the City of Lausanne has already implemented a similar solution through its “Jardins de poche” program. This program allows all city residents, including seniors, to rent or offer vegetable garden spaces in every neighborhood.

You can find details about this initiative and the procedure at this link: Pocket Gardens – City of Lausanne

Senior Vegetable Garden

Avatar: Chebel Fatma Chebel Fatma

Selected

1. Context:

In each neighborhood, a small vegetable garden space adapted for seniors.

--------------------

2. Proposal:

Due to their age and back and knee pain, many older adults are unable to tend a small vegetable garden; that is why, with this model adapted for seniors, they can experience the joy of growing their own vegetables and flowers.

--------------------

3. Motivation:

Help our moms and dads get outside and enjoy the fresh air while tending to their vegetable gardens.
