As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, Friends of the Earth Malta (FoEM) wishes to pay tribute to its headquarters, the Julian Manduca Green Resource Centre, and to the collective efforts that went into restoring the space and transforming it into a thriving hub for community and environmental action.
As we kick off 2025, we looked back on an amazing year of growth and achievements. From sustainable mobility to community gardens and zero-waste projects, 2024 was full of exciting initiatives. FoEM continues to empower individuals, promote environmental sustainability, and build a hopeful future for Malta.
Let’s take a look back at last Saturday’s Community Garden session, which featured a Social Permaculture workshop this time, as it was the multiplier event for the Social PEAS project. Thanks to the 35 amazing participants who joined us in our community garden. Together, we dove into the heart of sustainability and connection.
We prepared soil mix with recycled coconut coir and mushroom peat, sourced locally from farmers. Then, we planted different fruit trees to be able to grow and harvest a variety of fruits in the future, as well as seasonal veggies.
This project will host urban gardening activities within the climate emergency reality both in terms of practical preparedness in a warming climate.
