The meeting of gardeners takes place monthly and brings together the inhabitants of the social housings that have a plot in the garden.
It often takes place on Thursday morning. It is also sometimes scheduled on Saturday morning to allow people who work to attend.
It takes place either at the premises of the social landlord, or in at the permanence office/room of the tenants' Association.
It is run by the association Amieu. We will move towards a co - animation with volunteers, and reach forward meetings run by the inhabitants themselves. The association Amieu currently runs the meeting. Then for awhile it will share this leading with volunteers, who in the future will run the meating on their own.
The Amieu association writes the minutes of the meeting and distributes sends them by email (to the lessor and gardeners who have computers) or distributes them in mailbox for the other gardeners mailboxes (with the help from the social landlord).
