Discover an exciting tour through the urban vegetable gardens of Bogotá. On this tour, you will find the charms of vegetable gardens, such as the Monterrey vegetable garden, next to the El Burro wetland, where the magic of urban agriculture reveals the history of this public space's transformation while learning about recycling and the use of waste.

You will also find different spaces, such as the El Tintal library's vegetable garden, where the community guides us through the library's collective memory. Dive into species illustration and recycling workshops as we explore this cultural oasis.

 

The community's work in the city's popular neighborhoods is a sample of an ecological and sustainable paradise in the middle of a concrete jungle, such as the Marcella vegetable garden, which reflects a biodiversity haven in 600 square meters and teaches about the importance of conserving our flora and fauna.
