Future allotment gardener
Subject: Future allotment gardener
Working group 1
We have to open our allotment gardens, not only on a spatial level, but also on an intellectual and spiritual level. Only with such an opening can there be an acceptance from and for society. This could be achieved by inviting different groups (e.g. children, old people, handicapped people, etc.) to work together with us.
We have to make sure that our movement stays attractive! This could be achieved by creating and accepting free spaces for our members to unfurl. Therefore it is necessary to get rid of too strict restrictions and to encourage and accept creativity.
We have to exemplify our values to future generations of allotment gardeners through our own lives to keep our movement alive.
We have to increase our efforts to find volunteers. Ideally these people will come from our own associations. Except for one league we all agreed that we have to stay flexible for the recruitment of new board members. The case could arise where board members can not be found inside our own association. In this case there could be the necessity to look beyond our borders and try to find external volunteers who are willing to participate.
