Il faut cultiver son jardin.
In Cork, Ireland

A garden's rebirth 9 months after being caught in a devastating forest fire and everything was reduced to ashes. Resilience, hope and food security start in the home and in the garden.

No land, no soil? No problem. A single pot or window planter maintained with care can support a healthy diet in many ways. That's the magic of herbs.

The wild mediterranean way

One sowing many harvests

Here's a big bunch of parsley for the freezer. Enough to go through the winter untill the leaves grow strong again.

Autumn colours

Flowering currant

Green beans fresh from the garden in October? Yes please!
Climate changes... we adapt.

It's "just" a clematis left to grow in a bush. Not the nicest sight maybe, yet it provides spectacular white flowering first thing in Spring and beautiful sturdy shelter for our tiny friends year round.

@euractiv question: why an AI generated image to talk about extreme weather monitoring device when AI is a prime contributor to extreme weather AND aren't there enough existing images of real rocket launch to pick from?
