Jamppa Community Garden 2026
A new community garden with growing boxes will be implemented in Riihimäki's Peltosaari, and a relaxed gardening atmosphere in good company will be promised throughout the summer season.
The community garden is implemented by the City of Riihimäki, and Blokgarden's gardeners are participating to help the growers and coordinate the activities.
The goal of the garden is to increase the community spirit of the area, provide an opportunity to grow your own food together with others, and act as a cozy and safe place to spend time.
There is room for 20 people and each person will get their own growing box. We will also bring pots and boxes for shared plants.
Each grower is responsible for the well-being of their own plants, but others will help with watering. During watering shifts, we ensure that no one's box dries out, even on a hot day.
The season begins with joint planting. You can plant your own seedlings in your box and we also bring ready-made free seedlings for you to use. We help to start a farming community and during the summer we have community gardening days when our gardeners are there to help and advise.

Support Gardeners
During the summer, Blokgarden gardeners Niilo and Tuomas support the growers.
You can meet us in the garden on community gardening days and reach us in the growers' WhatsApp group.
It's easy to message and ask about garden-related matters in the WhatsApp group, and you can reach other growers in the Facebook group and share your plants.
Garden Events
We organize community gardening days during the summer, where our gardeners are present. The program includes topical gardening: sowing, planting seedlings, fertilizing, harvesting, etc.
During community garden days, we also play music in the garden and heat up the grill. Bring your own barbecues and the bravest can even bring karaoke.
You don't need to register for the events separately and you can bring a friend. Relaxed atmosphere in good company is guaranteed.
