Jerusalem community garden

A garden refuge in the heart of Jerusalem
Five years ago, the plot of land on the grounds of the Natural History Museum in Jerusalem was barren and unused. Today it has become the city's largest community garden.
Designed as a space to grow organic crops, the garden -- located just a stone's throw from a busy street - is also an educational institution and an urban refuge for the people of Jerusalem.
The community garden is open to anyone, and regular visitors include school children, artists and a nursery for mentally disabled adults.
