Le plantage aux Libellules de Vernier

The Vernier project was built upon the site of an old factory.  The parcels follow a system implemented in the region, where garden plots are offered to inhabitants who live within a five minute walk from the plots. Recreation and picnic facilities encourage community interaction in addition to food production.

The Vernier project is part of a larger group of semi-public sites where citizens have claimed open space for production and community engagement. The sites are often leftover or buffer spaces that become managed and cared for by the gardener-stewards who benefit from the agriculture.
