What do we encourage?

The Swiss allotment garden federation aims at stimulating and developing the allotment garden movement in Switzerland.

This aim should be reached by the following means :

1. Unification of all allotment gardeners and their organisations if possible.
2. Defense of the interests of all the members and their representation with the authorities, judicial and natural persons. – Especially members facing problems for the safeguarding and/or the creation of allotment garden sites should be supported.
3. Stimulation of the continuous technical formation of the members in the sections, associations and regions.
4. Support of measures for the protection of the natural habitats for men, animals and plants.
5. Stimulation of a gardening that is respectful of nature.
6. Active public relations work and sensitisation for the allotment garden movement.
7. Publication of the federation’s magazine « Gartenfreund/jardin familial” and presentation of the federation on Internet.
8. Upkeeping of close relations with like minded organisations on national and international level.
