What you can do in Colombo - Read how the garden feeds school and community meals (Urban Farm DB case) - Explore volunteer or training days listed on the ECO-V site when posted - Learn pollinator-friendly planting from the same beds urban farmers use - Pair a visit with IUCN background on Colombo urban greening (IUCN article) How to join Contact ECO-V through the programme pages for the next garden workday or training. Wear closed shoes and sun protection. Why it matters in Colombo Coastal cities need living soil as much as sea walls. Shared gardens turn food scraps into neighbourhood pride. Good to know - Do I need farming experience? Trainers welcome beginners after a short briefing. - Is there a fee? Some trainings may ask a modest materials fee; confirm on the listing. - Can groups book? Schools and clubs can inquire about dedicated sessions.
