A communal space has been needed<br />
in <strong>Espoo</strong>nlahti, especially now<br />
that the shopping centre is being<br />
renovated. With this in mind, a<br />
community garden and a pavilion that<br />
also serves as a stage were set up for<br />
the summer in the northwest corner<br />
of the sports park.<br />
“The idea is that anyone can come<br />
and tend the garden and harvest the<br />
crop. The pavilion is ideal for a picnictype<br />
summer party, a meeting place<br />
for clubs and associations or, for<br />
example, a band practice session that<br />
is open to the public. This summer,<br />
anyone who wanted to organise an<br />
event that welcomed participants<br />
could get help for marketing it from<br />
the City Events <strong>Espoo</strong> unit,” says<br />
Cultural Producer Jussi Hietala.<br />
Summer workers have tended the<br />
garden three mornings a week all<br />
season to ensure basic care for the<br />
plants.<br />
“On <strong>Espoo</strong> Day, we will have<br />
a harvest festival here,” Hietala<br />
promises.<br />
