#ConnectingGardens

Hello world! This is the social account of Open Source Gardens - where openness is sown and freedom is reaped.

We would like to create "#OpenSource #Gardens" and thus spread Open Source (philosophy/software) in a horticultural and creative way.

To do so, we are planning to plant #OpenSourceSeeds in various #community #gardens in #Berlin.

Join in and spread the word!

Heute vor 12 Jahre wurde das #TempelhoferFeld besetzt und der Öffentlichkeit übergeben. 2011 wurde "100% Tempelhofer Feld" gegründet und die ersten Hochbeete im #Allmende #Kontor gesetzt. 2014 haben die Berliner*erinnen per #Volksentscheid für die Erhaltung des Tempelhofer Felds als Freifläche gestimmt. 2020 ist dort der erste öffentliche #OpenSourceGarten entstanden.

Wir danken allen Berliner*innen die uns das ermöglicht haben <3 <3 <3

Ihr alle seid das Feld, ihr alle seid der Garten!

12 years ago today, the #TempelhoferFeld was squatted and handed over to the public. In 2011, "100% Tempelhofer Feld" was founded and the first raised beds were planted in the #Allmende #Kontor. In 2014, in a "Volksentscheid" the citizens of Berlin voted for the preservation of Tempelhofer Feld as an open space. In 2020, the first public #OpenSourceGarden was created there.

We thank all Berliners who made this possible <3 <3 <3

You all are the field, you all are the garden!

#Sunviva and #BlackHeart are thriving in the #AllmendeKontor on the #TempelhoferFeld

The European Patent Office (EPO) has rejected a joint appeal filed by NGOs against a patent on barley owned by Carlsberg (EP2373154). The #patent claims non-genetically bred barley #plants, their harvest and the #beer produced thereof.

"No Patents on #Seeds!" is concerned about serious negative impacts such patents can have, as these might also be granted on #vegetables, #fruits and other food plants: https://www.no-patents-on-seeds.org/en/news/patent_on_barley_and_beer_upheld

"Retooting" for you from nerdhof.garden on Twitter:

Meanwhile in Berlin our #OpenSourceGarden is like "bursting at the seeds" and is surrounded by beautiful flowers. We planted #OpenSourceSeeds #BlackHeart and #Sunviva and people enjoy the spring in our community garden #AllmendeKontor

Kartini Samon's presentation for the #UN Food Systems #Summit adapted and taken further (original source attached):

"[...] Small farmers, traders and consumers could also benefit from
technology, but to do so we all need to work together to break up
the power of #BigTech and [...]" to foster the use and development of #OpenSource #Software in the whole agricultural sector!

On a sunny day this week, we gathered and constructed a bench for our #OpenSource #Garden in #Berlin so we and others can sit together and grow our passion. Thanks to everyone involved and our decent neighbours ^^
