Potager Modèle is a community garden that promotes sustainable food systems and biodiversity through collective action. From January 2023 to June 2024, Latitude Platform, in collaboration with Foyer Laekenois, Collectif Dallas, Skyfarms, and Molleke, coordinated various activities in Laeken’s Cité Modèle to renovate the existing garden with the help of local residents and nearby organizations. |

The garden features 20 individual cultivation plots, a communal composting station, a greenhouse, three rainwater tanks, three ponds, and a shared plot for gardening workshops. The project divert existing gutters to collect rainwater for irrigation, helping to reduce the flow of clean water into the sewer system. By reusing mineral and organic materials—such as klinkers to delimit the plots and earth to create new topography—the project minimizes reliance on new resources, fostering a local and circular approach to landscape design. |
