Goals of the intervention
The goal of the project was to implement a new green area in a communal garden with a participatory approach from the residents of the area. The residents of the area shared with the members of Garden Faber the planning and implementation phase of the project. (Ref.1.) The plan was part of an overall attempt of the city to provide more recreational activities and green spaces and to provide the services of mitigating the impact of urban pollution and water management issues as the consequences of precipitation (Ref.1&2)

Implementation activities
First, the company Garden Faber applied to receive funds to implement the project from the municipal initiative "Principi attivi". After that, Garden Faber organised a series of workshops where the residents of the neighborhood were invited to participate, and together they designed solutions for the regeneration of the green area. (Ref.2.) The intervention was applied to a single park, where all the activties have been organized.
Regarding the status of the project: Research carried out in 2020, reports that this was a community garden designed next to a building designated for public housing. It is not known if the garden still exists, the NBS, however, was implemented but its outcomes are unknown. No sources were available to understand if the community continued with the garden though there is information that a similar project has been implemented in close by areas.
