Planting together
Committed people from Chemnitz and the region plant apple trees in spring and autumn. Pupils and children, employees from companies, cultural and social institutions as well as passionate people from allotment garden associations, neighbourhoods and districts shape their living space by planting old apple varieties and harvesting valuable produce.
Joint care
The neighbourhood activities will continue to bear fruit after the Capital of Culture year, as the planters guarantee their care for at least 12 years. Experts from the field of pomology and experienced knowledge carriers provide professional advice and inform at events about pruning fruit trees, nutrition and the art of gathering.
Celebrating together
Regardless of the culture, the most important question of the day is: "What's for dinner?" Partners from various culinary traditions offer a wide range of workshops and recipe exchanges as part of the LIVING NEIGHBOURHOOD cultural programme, as well as various formats for communication. In addition, there are hikes to green hotspots and songs that are performed together in a lively neighbourhood.
