Zolemeu - Home Garden
With the rapid growth of cities and urban populations around the world, there is a huge demand for urban food. Greener cities lie ahead, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Replenish our ecological foundations, reduce temperatures and increase the resilience of cities to climate change.
Houseplants not only improve the overall look of a room, but they also boost mood, boost creativity, reduce stress, and eliminate air pollutants, making you healthier and happier.
Home gardening is something each of us can do to make our cities greener. It's a garden where you grow your own food – herbs, vegetables, fruits. What's more, it gives city dwellers the opportunity to produce their own food — fresher and healthier — and learn about local varieties in the process. Fruits and vegetables grown in your own garden will promote health as they will be rich in nutrients, especially phytochemicals, antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin A, and folate, without the risk of adulteration and pesticides. Radishes, broadleaf mustard, chili peppers, mint, coriander, peas, tomatoes – your vegetable garden can be as ambitious as your imagination allows. Here's how you'll benefit from growing your own vegetable garden:
