I was amazed to find out that the municipality actually buys all the tools, the soil and the seeds. The municipality also pays a person to work there a couple of days a week and supports the garden with everything that is needed. People working in the garden are young people who are concerned about the ecological and social condition of the country as well as educational system.
The Bat Galim neighborhood is a poor Jewish neighborhood in Haifa. The violence and crime statisticsis are very high and it is very nice to see young people making a garden together with the children and adults from the neighborhood.
