“100% CITY”<\/a>\u00a0– the closing event of the initiative\u00a0‘Global City-Local City’ realised with the support of the European Commission\u00a0programme “Culture”.\u00a0Produced by SPIELART festival Munich.<\/p>\n“Garden Affairs”\u00a0is a\u00a0final\u00a0stage of the research done by Katrina Neiburga and Christine Umpfenbach in the allotment gardens in Riga and Munich.\u00a0Latvian, Russian and German gardeners address each other through the eye of the camera to\u00a0discuss local problems, develop global dreams, and pose everyday questions.
\nHow can one move a garden house from one side to the other when authorities force one to give up the garden plot?
\nAre the rules in German garden plot communities really so strict?
\nDo you have problems with snakes when you eat salad?
\nWhat is your favourite recipe with vegetables from your own garden?
\nDid the first Christmas tree really come from Latvia?
\nWhy do German gardeners love garden gnomes so much?<\/p>\n
