First edition of the table gardens: fresh vegetables for Seehausen!

First edition of the table gardens: fresh vegetables for Seehausen!

In the Hanseatic city of Seehausen, the first issue for the table gardens starts on Thursday, June 19, 2025. The first vegetable products are already ripe and will benefit people in need. Voluntary helpers, including Barbara Zenkert, Monika Preuss and Karin Emme, put a lot of work in the preparation of the issuing office in a garage at the foot of the St. Petri Church.

The team cleaned the premises, dusted shelves and boxes and cleaned the floor. In addition, water was stored in 20-liter canisters and the outdoor area was cleaned by the city workers of Seehausen. Project manager Hans-Joachim Hildebrandt and Lothar Ernst thank all helpers for their commitment and the active support.

First food distribution

On the first day of the edition, various types of vegetables such as salad, spring onions, rhubarb, soup herbs, radishes, kohlrabi and potatoes will be available. The organizers ask for understanding that the amount per person is limited in order to be able to help as many people as possible. In addition, all citizens are invited to hand over excess fruit and vegetables to the table gardens. Hobby gardeners can also contact the issue on Thursdays in the morning to share their harvest.

The table in Seehausen is an important project to support the needy people and follow the principles of tables in Germany. These differ in size and output frequency and work independently, whereby they determine their own rules for the evidence of new customers and the expenses. Large boards often have several output offices and rare opening times, while smaller plates, as in Seehausen, usually provide food once a week.

commitment and support

tables finance their important work through donations from private individuals and companies. The commitment is diverse: volunteers can help in food distribution or with fundraising activities. Interested parties who need support or want to get involved are welcome to contact the local table directly. Further information on Tafel locations can be found via the table search that works with the help of postcode or place of residence. For further details about the tables in Germany, please visit the website of Tafel.de.

The commitment of the volunteers in Seehausen is an outstanding example of community solidarity and the will to offer people in need of help. With the opening of the issuing point on June 19, an important step in the support of the needy in the region will be taken. We look forward to a successful cooperation and already thank all supporters and helpers for their willingness to make a difference.
