Greening the City

ACT Waterford - Greening the city
This “Greening the City” strand will be led by a creative with a strong background in community gardens, citizen engagement and so is ideally placed to work with this community.

The greening of the city will be informed by feedback provided by its local and trans-disciplinary audience/communities.

This community will promote planting in public spaces, gardens and balconies, find novel places to grow. Also, an important aspect of this project, is for the community to be inspired to start using the Green again as a civic space.

Rebecca Cappuccini

​​Creativity and design in its various forms have always been at the core of Rebecca’s professional interests.

Whether it be product design and commercialisation or garden design and organic farming, Rebecca has found a lot of joy in the process of making things happen and it has led her to becoming a project coordinator very naturally. One of her latest achievements as a co-founder of the ‘top of the city’ garden is a total transformation of a landfill into a little green paradise for local communities, where vegetables are grown and summer events happen. As a committee member of the community gardens Ireland, Rebecca commits her time and energy to support forming and networking of the community growing spaces in Ireland.
