Citizen garden

Oh hey 👋 thanks for passing by. I’m just a little citizen garden in front of a driveway in Schaerbeek, Brussels. Make sure to follow me on Twitter @citizen_garden and if you are in the neighborhood, come say hi! 😊

You can relive my story through my Press Book.

Despite not bothering anyone (no one can park in front of a driveway and the owners don’t have a car), despite the commune declaring the state of climate emergency in 2019, and recently saying in their official newspaper that they take care of green spaces, they keep on bullying me with various letters and threats.

If laws only allow people to use public space for private cars and does not allow people to use it for the community then laws must be changed.

Thank you for supporting me. It will show authorities that I don’t belong to anyone. Unlike a car I’m not a private property. I belong to the community.
