Association Torba runs shared gardens (djnane) near Algiers in Zeralda and Douaouda, with permaculture training, seed swaps, and Tafas farm baskets.
What you can do in Algiers
- Rent a 25 to 100 m2 plot and grow seasonal veg without chemical inputs (Torba presentation)
- Join permaculture level courses that hundreds of residents have taken since 2014
- Buy a Tafas short-chain vegetable basket on Fridays when slots open (Torba gardens story)
- Visit farm days at Bouinane and help with harvests or eco-build days
How to join
Write Torba through their contact page for garden plots, courses, or Tafas waitlists. Shared garden days sometimes announce open doors at Douera; confirm dates on the news section.
Why it matters in Algiers
Peri-urban families meet at compost piles, trade local seeds, and taste lunch from beds they tended one day a week.
Good to know
- Do I need my own tools? Permaculture beds use hand tools and shared mulch; Torba pages describe manual methods.
- Can children join? Torba Junior runs children's garden activities; contact the listed coordinator.
- Where is the office? Headquarters: CD 233, route de Bouchaoui, Ouled Fayet 16000.
