Garten der Begegnung

About Garten der Begegnung

The Garten der Begegnung is a community garden at Einödstraße 3-5 in Traiskirchen, right next to the initial reception centre. Vegetables and a meadow orchard grow on around one hectare. The association describes the garden as a free, protected meeting place where people from Traiskirchen and refugees work together. In September 2026 it celebrated its tenth anniversary.

Breakfast and market stall

From March to October there is an oriental breakfast on Saturdays from 10:00. A market stall also sells seasonal, regional products. You reserve a table by e-mail.

What happens in the garden

• Farming: organic cultivation of vegetables and fruit
• Learning: German courses and information for refugees
• Workshops: a sewing workshop and a woodworking workshop
• Exercise: sport, which according to the association is meant to help with processing trauma and with preventing violence
