If you have a garden, you need to obey the rules of gameplay.

If you have a garden, you need to obey the rules of gameplay. They are comparable with house rules and enacted by the legislator, they comprise the Plant Protection Law, the Neighbour Law, the German Civil Code, noise-protection and protection of the environment. We keep the garden complex in order in a joint effort and everyone takes part in cleaning and maintaining the pathways. We all spend around 10 hours a year helping out.

If I knew that the wall wouldn’t be there one day, I would probably never have left Poland

Irena Roman's garden

I come from Upper Silesia that is now a province of Poland. When I was 15, during a school trip to Vienna, I left my classmates and escaped. Then it was so extreme to be in the regime, that I found the heart to leave my family. I must say that if I knew that the wall wouldn’t be there one day, I would probably never have left Poland. So now in my garden I have a beautiful cherry tree, it is the only one tree in the colony and I inherited it from the man who had my garden before I got it, after he died. He had three children and he planted a tree for each child: an apple, a cherry and a plum tree, so the trees on my plot of land have a specific meaning, a family meaning, not of my family but of a family.
