Excerpt:

In the heart of Paris, a unique initiative is growing on the rooftop of the Annie Girardot nursing home. Gardens4Good, or Planète Potager as it’s known in French, is not just a garden but a transformative project supported by the EIT Community New European Bauhaus (NEB) – led by EIT Climate-KIC – that aims to promote non-profit food gardens for a healthier life and planet. The garden is the brainchild of Christophe Gadenne, a former police officer turned urban farmer who, following a period of retraining, decided to combine his soft spot for working with older people with his dream of building a greener, cleaner Paris.

The Annie Girardot nursing home was the dream location for Christophe’s food garden with its large, accessible rooftop, and plenty of residents to engage with the project. Still in its early stages, the garden has benefitted from participation in the EIT Community NEB’s Connect NEB programme, and now aims to increase its impact beyond this first pilot in Paris.

“I’m so excited to see where the EIT Community NEB’s support can take us. My goal is to inspire others to take up similar projects in their local areas – and with the EIT Community NEB’s knowledge, create a strategy to have as widespread an impact as possible,” Christophe explains.
