The herb gardens in Poingen are very popular. In the fourth year of its existence, the horticultural association can once again report a record number of leased plots.
Poing - The gardening association Poing-Angelbrechting opened the herb garden season earlier than usual: Because of the nice weather, hobby gardeners have been able to work on their plots for weeks. Even in Corona times. So that there are not too many people on the area east of the sports center at the same time, Werner Dankesreiter has created an online schedule for all tenants, where everyone can register. "The operation is practically restricted," says the 2nd chairman of the horticultural association. This was agreed with the district office in Ebersberg.
Poing: 84 parcels awarded
The herb gardens in Poingen are in their fourth year. 84 parcels have been taken, more than ever before. Last year there were 78. In the first year: 36, a year later (2018) 66. The amount of the lease that has to be paid per season (spring to autumn) for a 30 square meter plot of land is unchanged: 50 Euro. Two plots cost 90 euros. Membership of the gardening association is included in the price.
Krautgärten Poing: waiting list
The arable land east of the soccer fields, towards the moraine hill, on which the citizens can grow vegetables, herbs and flowers themselves, is provided by farmer Hans Schimpf from Angelbrechting. Also a large water tank for pouring. The herb gardens are very popular with citizens of Poingen, for many the place is like an oasis. Not only now in Corona times, when people like to cook outside all the more, but in general. To meet demand, the horticultural association and the farmer have opened another row this year, with a total of six plots. The total number rose to 84 - a new record. There are currently four inquiries on the waiting list, reports Werner Dankesreiter.
There was a work of art on a plot of the herb gardens in Poingen: a natural and ephemeral at the same time.
