In Rio de Janeiro, neighbours can look for urban gardens and community plots through the municipal portal and partner listings linked below.

What you can do in Rio de Janeiro

  • Open the Programme page Rio de Janeiro and search for horta or agricultura urbana
  • Use the city portal if you need the latest secretariat contact
  • Ask on site how to volunteer on watering or harvest days

How to join

Hours and addresses vary by garden. The linked page does not always list every plot: call or message the secretariat if you need a map for your district.

When & where

Approximate location: city centre of Rio de Janeiro. Recurring: check the organiser page for current garden hours and open days.

Why it matters in Rio de Janeiro

A shared plot in Rio de Janeiro turns a sidewalk corner into shade, salad greens, and a place to meet the people who grow food next door.

Good to know

  • Is this page only national? Some links point to federal or state hubs. Use the city portal for local names.
  • Can I start a new plot? Many cities run registration for new community gardens. Ask the agriculture or environment office.
