Join the 2° Birthday celebration on March 23rd of the Hortus Urbis, the educational edible garden in the heart of the beautiful Appia Antica Park. It is also the occasion for the launch of the new Spring season open air activities for kids every Sunday morning.
Hortus Urbis is the first garden based solely on ancient Roman plants surrounded by the woods and the Almone river. What makes it special is also the fact that an abandoned area has been recovered by the local community activating a participatory process for its realization and management with the help of extraordinary volunteers.
Don’t miss the appointment is from 11 am till sunset, at the former paper mill “ex Cartiera Latina”, via Appia Antica 42/50. On the same day it is also the “Giornata Ecologica” in Rome with no cars allowed. Come by foot, by bike or by bus.
At 11.00 – ELLIOTT LA MITOVELÓ | Workshop for Kids, an idea of Fiona Sansone, by Associazione Ersilio M.
Elliott la MitoVeló è una bicicletta con rimorchio,
che svela una piccola biblioteca itinerante per bambini e ragazzi.
Elliott la MitoVeló porta in giro storie.
Storie da ascoltare, da leggere, da scambiare.
Elliott la MitoVeló la puoi trovare al mercato sotto casa,
nel cortile della tua scuola,
nel giardino della biblioteca di quartiere,
davanti alla porta del tuo pediatra,
sulla spiaggia, al bordo del lago, e (con un po’ di allenamento) sulla collina dove vai a rimirar le stelle.
