Rotterdamse Munt is a breath of fresh air, literally in the heart of the Feijenoord district. What was once an ordinary urban space has been transformed into a vibrant, sustainable garden, where local residents grow food, build community, and reconnect with nature.
In this garden anyone can volunteer to cultivate herbs, vegetables, and flowers in the middle of the city. But it goes beyond that. Through workshops, creative installations, and events, it invites people of all ages and backgrounds to take part in sustainable practices, learn new skills, and meet neighbors they might not otherwise cross paths with.
I visited in the summer, and that’s when the garden is really vibrant. Everything is in full bloom, buzzing with life, and the scent of fresh herbs fills the air. The gardeners are incredibly friendly and always happy to chat or share what they’ve grown. You can even buy fresh mint, teas, or other herbs grown on-site, all harvested with care and love.
