About Bostanie
Community garden in Lisiche Park, Skopje
What is Bostanie
Bostanie is a community garden in Lisiche Park, Novo Lisiche, Skopje. Here, about fifty gardeners grow vegetables, learn from each other, and share the joy of community gardening.
The project was founded in 2017 by the Green Ark Association, with support from the City of Skopje. Today the garden is a space for socializing, learning, and greenery — open to everyone.
