As part of the “Gielt Band" (yellow ribbon) action, an initiative of Luxembourg's Ministry of Agriculture, Viticulture and Rural Development in collaboration with Syvicol, aimed at reducing food waste, the City of Luxembourg (Ville de Luxembourg - VdL) invites all interested people to come pick fruits in the orchards located on Rue Plaetis (Grund) and Avenue Gaston Diderich, near the St. Jean centre (Belair).
People can pick fruits from apple trees, pear trees and plum trees, amongst others.
The orchards will be open to the general public on:
- Friday 23 September 2022 from 12:00 to 19:00
- Saturday 24 September 22022 from 10:00 to 17:00
- Friday 30 September 2022 from 12:00 to 19:00
- Saturday 1 October 2022 from 10:00 to 17:00
To ensure that fruit picking takes place with respect for the environment and all participants, the City invites fruit pickers to respect the “Gielt Band” charter available on www.antigaspi.lu.
The VdL Parks Service will supervise the participants and will be at their disposal for any question relating to the harvesting of fruits.
