Action points are weekly markets, open house days especially for public authorities and nurseries also events with high citizens participation in order to show urban gardening systems.
Common greens will be used as model areas for urban gardening in Nürnberg, Fürth and Erlangen. Recommendations for action in order to promote urban gardening will be given to citizens, consumer and professional gardeners. All information should be widely publicized. New communication media are used for example short videos and social media. In addition soil independent systems such as floating-systems are checked for practicability.
