OpenGaarden 1.7.1

Open Gaarden offers an innovative platform aimed at fostering a vibrant food and garden community within urban settings. The name "Open Gaarden," which translates to "farm" in Danish, encapsulates its mission to intertwine the historical, current, and potential landscapes of our cities through a visually engaging experience.

The platform highlights the often-overlooked gardens, farms, orchards, and native plants that significantly contribute to our urban environments. By utilizing Open Gaarden, users not only discover these existing green spaces but are also encouraged to locate, tag, and even create new ones to share with their neighbors. This initiative promotes collaboration among various stakeholders—from chefs to farmers and schools to community gardeners—catalyzing a reimagining of urban living.
