Get away from your desk – get out into the field! Be active in a community and keep both feet on the ground: our community garden InchbyInch offers an excellent opportunity to do so. Münster CERes rents a small plot of land, part of it already planted, from a local lessor of vegetable gardens.

Every season we select a group of reliable doctoral researchers and postdocs who share the responsibility for the garden and harvesting work. Emerging researchers from all over the world learn something together about ecological gardening and about harvesting flowers and vegetables. In the process, the researchers grow together on a personal level and as a “roots” community.

In the community garden you can ...

  • learn all about ecological and sustainable gardening and enjoy the shared harvest
  • meet local gardeners and build up a “sweat” network
  • learn to wind down and relax completely

… and then return to your desk or to the lab with your batteries recharged!

  • 25.04.2024 / 17:00–18:30 / InchbyInch Community Garden: Season inauguration

    DOCTORAL RESEARCHERS, POSTDOCS


    Our community garden InchbyInch offers a unique excuse to leave your desk and load new energy in the field. During the season (April/May – November) you share the work, the harvest, and the time outside with other doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.

    During the season inauguration event you will get further information about the garden and the chance to ask questions. If the field is already open, we will jointly cycle to the field.


    Outcomes:

    – Learn about organic and sustainable gardening
    – Share and taste the harvest
    – Get to know local gardeners, build a sweat network
    – Relax and free your mind
