Who are we?

The Norwegian Leisure Garden Federation was founded at a common meeting of all national leisure gardeners held in Oslo in 1927. The goal of this meeting was to secure the existing leisure gardens and to work for the creation of new ones.

Today there are 14 leisure garden sites and 2 allotment sites in the country with a total of 2.000 members. One half of these gardens are located in the capital city Oslo, and the rest is divided between large cities in the southern part of Norway. The most northern is located in Trondheim.

All leisure gardens and allotments are situated on grounds belonging to the municipality and the rent paid to the county borough is of a symbolic amount.

All work in the association is based on voluntary efforts. The board consists of president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer 3 members and 5 leaders from the country, elected during the National Congress, held every 2nd year.
