Sun @ SWOMP 4

It was a hot day with temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius. So I decided to chill a bit at the Urban permaculture-garden SWOMP 4 in Amsterdam.

SWOMP 4 opened their gates today for the public (like always) and had some juices on offer, you could get home-made water-kefir, cold mint-tea or bio-juice. Initially I decided to lay down on a bench with a glass of orange-juice but I ended up walking around and taking some pictures. The gardens already looked a lot greener then a month a go and some people where working on their patch.

Visiting Swomp.

Today, after sleeping in nice and late. I visited the Swomp, A small squatted piece of land in the middle of the city of Amsterdam.

The land is used by the neighbourhood as a sort of free-state and free-gardening ground. It’s been squatted now for almost a year and looking very green and tasty (they have lovely berries and wonderful rucola).

It’s a completely ecological and non-profit setup, some money was investing in getting some fertileground and trees, but lots was recycled or composted.

A great initiative I think, one that we should have more of. I’ve put some crappy pictures online aswell: http://u2m.nl/photos/2009-06-14-swomp-amsterdam/

And here’s a good shot:
