Pelgu Community Garden
Pelgu Garden is an innovative urban community garden in Tallinn, designed to provide city residents with modern opportunities for growing food, spending leisure time, and organizing community events and outdoor educational activities.

Pelgu Community Garden was built in Spring 2024 as an extension of existing garden, which had been operating for five years in the same location. The garden is located on the intersection of Putukaväil in North Tallinn district, more specifically at the corner of Kolde pst and Ehte tn (the garden will be open to the public as soon as the use permit will be issued).
As the largest and most contemporary urban garden in Tallinn, it offers the opportunity to grow food in raised beds, garden plots, and a modern greenhouse. Additionally, the community garden features numerous fruit trees and shrubs. Residents can also organize community events and outdoor education activities within the garden.
The goal of the Pelguaed is to provide urban dwellers with the joy of collective gardening, thereby strengthening environmental awareness and fostering a sense of community. Special emphasis is placed on environmentally friendly gardening practices and shared responsibilities. Members of the community garden can access individual raised beds or garden plots, while communal beds, the greenhouse, and overall garden maintenance is a shared responsibility.
