I was lucky enough to be invited to have a brunch in a garden of my friend. It was a rented garden. Sound strange? yes, it is a very German idea about renting a piece of land to grow your own greens. You need to build a small cabin, though, to store your gears. Then, work on your land to build a green dream. For people who live in flats or small apartments, this is a wonderful idea to reconnect to the nature in big cities.
In Taiwan, we don't have spare lands for this idea in big cities. and I'm wondering even if we did, the hustle and bustle of city life seems to drain our energy to the last bit. Are we interested in doing so? But, why people in Munich still find time and energy to work on the land, even the lands that do not belong to themselves?
I think it is not about the land; it is about the mind. It is a piece of green in the mind that has driven them to do so. A desire to be in the nature, the joy to eat the greens that you grow yourself, and a place to hide from the robotic daily routines.
I remember last semester, our university had the same idea. The students could adopt vegetable patches to grow their own things. I wanted to do so, but....well, you know the excuses. Well, if the school will continue the project, I think I will definitely sign up. I do have that piece of green in my mind to grow, too.
