Hidden between busy streets, the garden plots of Luxembourg are oases of life. Here, we find stories of connection and a profound love for nature. As the city buzzes around them, gardeners find relaxation in the soil, growing not just plants, but also friendships and memories.
In Luxembourg, gardening lovers have several options when it comes to renting plots for growing vegetables and flowers. From municipal garden plots in Luxembourg City to allotment gardens managed by the ‘Garden and Home League’ or community gardens, there are various opportunities for residents to cultivate their own green spaces.
However, with high demand and limited availability, renting a garden can involve waiting lists, particularly in urban areas. Below we will explore the types of gardens available and the process for leasing a plot or participating in a community garden project.
To lease a plot in one of the city’s allotment gardens (cités jardinières) you should address the Garden and Home League (CTF), which has 128 chapters throughout the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, ten of which are in Luxembourg City.
The league is an umbrella association that brings together 89 local associations. Some of these sections manage gardens, often with the local municipality providing the land and establishing regulations for the use of the plots. However, some sections also manage private land. Many sections with gardens can be found mainly in Luxembourg City and Esch-sur-Alzette.
