Urban Farm

Urban farm, scali del Refugio, LivotnoI found this “fattoria urbana” (urban farm) on the “Scali del Refugio”, in the Venezia quarter.Urban farm, scali del Refugio, LivotnoThese stone-paved slopes from street level to water level are quite common along the canals of Livorno, but farming on them was unheard of until now.

I love this garden. What a great idea.

Some people are so starved for greenery that they will plant in the smallest and least likely places.

I will get you another photo of the red bench in front of Lena's.

I've heard about pallet gardens but never seen one.
The setting for yours is a surprising combination of hard and soft.

I enjoy photographing walls like this. Creative crannies too.

El mundo de las cosas antiguas, de las piedras que siempre estuvieron en el mismo sitio.

Wonderful capture! I read about urban gardening in Vienna, but so far I didn´t discover any examples. I will watch out!

It always amazes me some of the most unlikely places that you find folk growing things and why not it certainly cheers things up.
