In the book, authors Julia Linder and Sara Nelson, project leader and gardening coordinator for the project,  emphasizes urban gardening as a way to work with sustainable developement – where children and youth get the mandate and the tools to influence their everyday lives, society and the future. The book is written for experienced gardeners, those who are eager to get started, as well as teachers, pedagogues and leaders of children and youth activities.
