As in 2023 and 2024, the Dresden Environmental Center is once again enriching the Dresden Palais Sommer this year with its food education mission under the slogan “Pulses from Saxony: From the field to the plate!”. Opportunities for greening city centers and urban farming activities are inspiring more and more people who want to eat locally and grow their own food. Urban gardening initiatives and other communities are becoming increasingly popular as a result. At the annual Palais Sommer Festival, the concepts of sustainability and regionality are now taken very seriously.
Culture-loving event visitors can look forward to a rich regional buffet. Lentil sprouts on the salad, baked potatoes with herb quark from next door, hearty buns from Dresden and meat products from local farms make the catering a regional culinary specialty. The aim was also to promote more regional and healthy eating. The Dresden Environmental Center and the OLGA project already drew attention to this topic last year with its raised beds of peas, beans, lentils and more. This year, they are once again located at the Green Oasis next to the morning yoga sessions, inviting visitors to read, relax and enjoy.
