The third micro-garden at the center of a community collaboration and urban regeneration initiative in the city of Rome.

The Micro-orto Dei Capasso was created at the Nuovo Mercato Bravetta. It is the third micro-garden at the center of a community collaboration and urban regeneration initiative in the city of Rome. Small urban gardens, spaces where vegetables are grown, but most of all, spaces where active citizenship and education on sustainability blossom. The Micro-orto Dei Capasso is a tool that aims to support the active participation of residents in the park and market area of Bravetta and was built by the beneficiaries of the ‘Spazio Comune’ Community Benefit Project.

The Micro-orto Dei Capasso was created as part of PUC-CARE, promotes the focus on Active Participation, and has the endorsement of Rome's XII Municipality.

PUC-CARE is one of 16 local projects in Europe selected by the European initiative “Together in Action: Empowering Local Communities for a Sustainable and Inclusive Future”.
PUC-CARE is promoted by Replay Network aps and supported by ALDA Europe through the European CERV Programme - Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values.
PUC-CARE expands the impact of the Projects Useful to the Community (PUC) promoted by Replay Network aps, with a focus on sustainability education, inclusion and active participation.
