Lands'herb Shared Garden
Lands'herb is a neighbourhood shared garden run by the Les Compostiers du Landsberg association, south of place de l'Étoile, on the Neudorf side. Vegetable beds tended by members and a community compost make it a place for neighbours to connect rather than a tourist sight.
Neighbours, compost and three vegetable beds
The Les Compostiers du Landsberg association was founded in 2015 by residents of 17 rue du Landsberg and neighbouring buildings, around a community composting site. Since 2018 it has also run the Lands'herb shared garden on the same spot: three large vegetable beds are entirely looked after by members. Its aim is to bring together local residents of all ages and backgrounds.
Taking part rather than visiting
Lands'herb is a community garden, not a public park laid out for strolling: people come to garden, compost and meet their neighbours. Membership sign-ups take place every January, and the association welcomes ideas for one-off events or longer projects. For passing travellers, it is mainly a glimpse of the neighbourhood's community life; the association's website explains how to get in touch.
