The allotment gardens not only offer city residents the opportunity to self -sufficiency, but also boost neighborly cooperation.

Last but not least, volunteer engagements are also recognized here, which make many of the gardens into flowering oases. The volunteer trees are handed over to representatives of the allotment gardeners and club members. Such events not only consolidate the community, but also show how important the allotments are in the urban landscape of Leipzig.
