Biodiversity:
--Achieved increased green space area: "The same sets of plants also appeared in the next eight pots on a part of the lawn at U Furty Street. In total, 27 pots measuring 60x80 cm and 50 cm high were placed in both locations, and each of them was described with the name of the set and its composition. In total, about 500 plants were planted in them." (2)
--Achieved increased number of species present: "The first one – the culinary set – contains, among others, culinary basil, lovage, mint, olive herb, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram and dill. In turn, the medicinal set contains, among others, basil, sage, calaminta, mint in various varieties, hyssop, rockrose and Brazilian raisin. The third set contains a collection of plants that work great in aromatherapy, i.e. varieties of sage and oregano, geranium, lemon balm, lavender varieties and thyme, as well as strawberries and wild strawberries."

Social justice and community:
--Achieved increased involvement of locals in the management of green spaces: "The project of "Urban Farms in Gdańsk" will be continued in the following years. In the next editions, it is planned to plant, in addition to herbs, also useful plants - cherry tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and pumpkins." (2); "Since then, the number of supporters of our farm has been growing day by day, and among them there was no shortage of people who deliberately visited this place, coming from different parts of Gdańsk. Therefore, so that in the coming years the residents could enjoy the taste and smell of herbs, we decided to refresh and slightly improve our herbal farm" (3)
--Achieved increased access to healthy/affordable food: "Fresh herbs from your own balcony or terrace, or even from the kitchen windowsill, undoubtedly add flavor and color to any kitchen. We are coming to the aid of those who did not manage to stock up on fresh, fragrant, green leaves for dinner. You can feel free to help yourself to our crops from two urban farms " (1)
--Achieved increased awareness of NBS and their benefits: "Since then, the number of supporters of our farm has been growing day by day, and among them there was no shortage of people who deliberately visited this place, coming from different parts of Gdańsk. Therefore, so that in the coming years the residents could enjoy the taste and smell of herbs, we decided to refresh and slightly improve our herbal farm." (3)
