Plans For A Novel Urban Garden

Plans
I only read nearly a new, exciting projection called På Spåret ("on the tracks") amongst plans to plough abandoned develop tracks into an urban garden. Located inwards the Skanstull expanse of the isle of Södermalm, several blocks southward from the Rival Hotel, these develop tracks are a flake of a dead expanse today... overgrown vegetation amongst graffiti marked debris. The projection has taken its inspiration from Berlin's Prinzessinnengarten together with NYC's High Line, business office of the novel urban nub tendency of bringing light-green areas to urban sprawl. Stockholm is already quite green, amongst 95% of the population living less than 300 meters from a light-green expanse (helping the urban nub larn elected every bit Europe's get-go Green Capital inwards 2013).
Future look?

Stockholm City has given the go-ahead for the projection together with operate volition laid about this spring; non certain when they excogitation to cause got it completed... but I volition survive certain to study on it here! The garden itself volition survive opened upwards for Blue Planet to drive their hands at gardening, amongst solely ecological attain beingness grown. There volition too survive an ecological gardening school, shop together with café amongst large outdoor seating area. Furthermore, at that topographic point volition survive a daily outdoor farmers marketplace that volition expand inwards size on the weekends. Other plans include cultural events similar concerts, gardening seminars together with outdoor pic screenings. Keep an oculus on their website (linked above, solely inwards Swedish then far) together with this weblog for farther updates.
