The Open Program Social Development of the Family Allotment Gardens - 28.04.2016

For the Polish Allotment Federation (the PZD)  the development of the family allotment gardens (RODs) is a priority. For this purpose the PZD incessantly invests in their infrastructures. The gardens have to be useful not only for allotment gardeners. They should be also the places of an integration and a rest for the local community. The allotment gardeners have organized many events and feasts for children and seniors for years, in which also locals residents take part. The National Council of the PZD has noticed strong need for development and opening RODs to the local community and developed and adopted the Open Program Social Development of the Family Allotment Gardens which gives directions in which the gardens should develop themselves for the local community.

In the Program The National Council of the PZD presents in the Program the open catalog of activities and events which can be organized by the management of the ROD and allotment gardeners. Among them are:
