-A few years ago a group of friends were looking for somewhere to start a communal garden. They found what was the last urban farm in Gent, completed with its abandoned house, farm building and sprawling grounds which had apple, pear, prunes, walnuts and berries growing. All squatters themselves, it made sense to take over an abandoned property. It was the perfect place to start an autonomous collective with a focus on ecological gardening. A lot of the old vegetables had gone to seed every year, so there was an abundance of seeds and flora already growing. +A few years ago a group of friends were looking for somewhere to start a communal garden.

 John is one of the founders of the group, and says that its a loose collective of people working together without structure or hierarchy. This anarchistic approach led to the group constantly growing and putting on events, for example every Sunday in the first year, people would come together to eat.  John is one of the founders of the group, and says that its a loose collective of people working together without structure or hierarchy.
