Another goal is to motivate refugees and immigrants to become active and to participate.
The Intercultural Gardens consist of parcels of land on which vegetables and herbs, including herbs of the immigrants' countries of origin, can be grown and of jointly used space for children, community events and meetings.
Social integration is promoted through neighborly help and family care, teaching of the German language and help in contacting educational institutions as well as documentation and public relations.
The projects was founded in 1996, partially on the initiative of in-migrated families.
The foundation Stiftung Interkultur in Munich coordinates and supports garden projects all over Germany.
