BIMBY

 

A better world starts in your garden..?

Many inspiring urban greening projects are currently going on to make our cities more biodiverse an sustainable: green roofs, urban farming, vertical gardens, guerilla gardening; it is all very popular. 

 

However, in our own front-and back yards a reverse trends seems to be going on. All nice and well this urban greening but better NIMBY? A majority of domestic gardens is being turned into low-maintenance paved courtyards.

 

Biodiversity In My (Back) Yard

BIMBY is going to replace NIMBY. BIMBY is an acronym for Biodiversity in My Back Yard. Biodiversity is the variation of life on earth. BIMBY inspires towards a new vision on the meaning, spatial and environmental values of our domestic gardens.
