Bulk sections in supermarkets

Nevertheless, more and more supermarkets and mini-markets are offering bulk produce sections. You can buy both food and non-food products. Prices are not always lower than you might expect. What's more, some butchery and cheese departments will serve food in your own containers. Remember to take them along with your reusable bags when you go shopping.

Launched by the Ministry of Agriculture and Sylvicol (Luxembourg's association of local authorities), this initiative aims to reduce waste and promote solidarity by authorizing free picking for personal use.

Community gardens in Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a city where prices per square meter are high. The result? Many people don't have a private garden in which to plant or grow fruit, vegetables, herbs and vegetables.

In response, the City of Luxembourg and a growing number of communes are offering an original and innovative concept: community gardens!

Grow your own fruit and vegetables even if you don't have your own garden

Created for people who don't have a private garden, community gardens enable them to grow flowers, vegetables, herbs and fruit at a very reasonable price.

First set up in 2013 in the Bonnevoie district of Luxembourg City, community gardens are now more widespread. The districts of Limpertsberg, Vallée de la Pétrusse and Pfaffenthal also offer community gardens to their residents.

Each community garden is made up of a "communal" area and several "private" plots. These plots can be cultivated alone, with family or friends. Individual plots measure around 4 by 2 meters, and can be used to grow several plants.

Environmentally-friendly meeting places

Another important criterion for the City of Luxembourg's community gardens is that they are cultivated in an environmentally-friendly manner. Chemical pesticides and fertilizers are banned, as are GMOs. Compost bins are also available.

Exclusively reserved for residents of the neighborhoods in which they are set up, these gardens are created with sustainable development in mind. The aim is also to create a convivial atmosphere among friends and resident neighbors. Picnic tables are provided.

What's more, the City of Luxembourg offers every resident who rents a plot of land the opportunity to receive training from a professional gardener, so that they can optimize the cultivation of their plot.

Interested in community gardens?

Are you interested in the concept and would like a plot of land on which to grow a garden? Contact one of Luxembourg City's environmental delegates to find out if plots are still available on telephone number 4796-4772 or nisaac@vdl.lu, or contact your local administration if you don't live in Luxembourg City.

You can also log on to the Eise gaart website, the portal for community vegetable gardens in Luxembourg. The site presents shared gardens in Luxembourg and how to join one. You'll also find information on ecological gardening and a diary of events in and around vegetable gardens at national level. Produced in partnership with CELL - Center for Ecological Learning Luxembourg, the site is published in French, English and German.
