Welcome to Open Source Gardens, where openness is sown and freedom is grown!
We like to grow Open Source Seeds and use Open Source garden technologies at home or in community gardens to connect people with Open Source (philosophy, seeds, software & hardware) in a horticultural and creative way.

Time for a new open source variety: @opensourceseeds is crowdfunding the breeding and cultivation of a new rye variety: https://www.startnext.com/roggen
From the teaser: "#OpenSourceSeeds supports breeders in the development of new and sustainable varieties of our crops. An important work that often takes many years and cannot be financially managed by small, independent companies. With this project, for the first time, we can enable the breeding of a new rye variety together as a community. Let's invest directly in the future of organic farming!"

#OpenSource makes gardeners* come around:
900 pre-grown #Vivaroma plants have been given out by the Technical University #Berlin today for no cost - and have been picked up within 31 minutes.
Thanks to everyone involved in this activity and welcome to the #OpenSourceGardens community 🌻
If it happens you are from/in Berlin save the date:
The Chair of Vegetation Technique and Planting Design of the Technical University (TU) has cultivated 900 seedlings of #Vivaroma (they call "TUmato") and distribute them for no cost on 4 May 2022 from 9:00 until 14:00 on the forecourt of the TU Berlin Main Building. First come first served!
https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/themenportal-ueber-die-tu-berlin/tumato/
For everyone else: If you follow the link you also find tips about planting and harvesting Vivaroma as well as an interesting interview with Professor Kühn about cultivation of tomatoes, F1 hybrids, heirlooms and of course #OpenSourceSeeds.
It is late ... but not yet too late. We can send out some final starter-kits with #OpenSourceSeeds for Easter \°/
The amount is however unfortunately limited, so be quick, order your seeds, join our community, grow an open source garden and connect with like-minded people across Europe: https://opensourcegardens.info/order-seeds.en.html#springflowers

Alice Yuan Zhang is artist in residence at #Moos in #Berlin and is preparing some new garden arts using soil, clay and #OpenSourceSeeds for the Living Solidarity Days this weekend: https://solidarity-alliance.org/368-2/
Later in the year, the art will start growing in the residency's garden <3

Another year, another gardening season: Soon we are spreading another round of #OpenSourceSeeds with our #ConnectingGardens initiative.
If you like this initiative please help to spread the word by translating our order-page into your mother tongue beforehand: https://opensourcegardens.info/order-seeds.en.html
Meanwhile, the Technical University Berlin ("TU Berlin") offers the "Vivaroma" as a "TUmato" for everyone to order:
https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/themenportal-ueber-die-tu-berlin/tumato/
"The tomato seeds carry an open source seed license. As a common good, the seeds are legally protected from patents and other forms of privatization. Every TU gardener can propagate and breed the TUmato under certain conditions."
We say: Happy gardening 
Let's grow together! Today at 15:00 we have the #rC3 Open Source Gardeners* Unite meet-up where we would like to meet you!
