The first urban vegetable garden on the ship Bashny.Net

Strolling along the beautiful waterfront city of Antwerp is to meet performance of original design ideas, for example, a hotel of the old containers (a few weeks she will be there), and more recently the floating island of greenery, which threw the anchor in the shadow of the Museum aan de Stroom (MAS). Welvaert (Welvaert) is an urban vegetable garden, designed by art collective Time Circus and grown on abandoned floating crane, as it has a "tree house", fully assembled from reused materials, has a kitchen and lives in the chicken coop small chicken family.









Commissioned by the Mas Museum and docked at the dock Bonapartedok, floating garden Welvaert Welton (Welvaert Welton) is intended to raise awareness among the local population about how it can work urban agriculture, organizing public workshops on composting and parties with home-made Apple cider. The ship has not only gardening, but also the greenhouse and in the kitchen you can prepare meals using foods directly from the garden.









Time Circus plans to expand the project even more: "a bold new enterprise consists of floating bars, ateliers for artists and kitchen, all on the same boat. They build it from wood left over from the construction of some railway lines, and according to the plan, the project will go to Lisbon and the Czech Republic".





Though this innovative garden project on the ship will only last until 2014, is one of the great examples of how neglected urban space can suddenly turn into a productive green space.
