Social gardens in Lądek Zdrój - bringing social gardens to the town hit by flood
STOWARZYSZENIE JEDEN SWIAT
Lądek Zdrój, Polonia
Descripción
Lądek-Zdrój, a historic Polish Sudety resort town near the Czech border, was severely damaged by a flood in fall 2024, affecting southern Poland, the Czech Republic, and Austria. The destruction is still visible, but the residents are striving to restore their space and create a fresh start for life. This includes gardens which will provide a social space for cultural events and promote the town’s welcoming image to tourists. Volunteers will help construct a decorative wooden-crate amphitheater to support plants and social gatherings. They’ll also craft educational boards detailing local plants and the collaborative recovery efforts. Gardening tasks include creating a year-round herb and edible plant garden and monitoring plant growth. The study theme focuses on nature, sustainable gardening, and its role in community building.
Alojamiento, manutención y transporte
Volunteers will be accommodated in shared rooms at a local hotel. Breakfast and lunch will be provided at the hotel. The hotel is located around 20 minutes walk from the office and an equal distance of 20 minutes from the main town space. Lądek-Zdrój is surrounded by natural landscapes and it is one of the historical spa resorts in Europe. We recommend taking the swimming suits and stronger shoes with you as we want to provide local trips to fully enjoy the charms of the city.
