Residents should not doubt the quality of the harvest - the garden is located in a place where cars do not drive. Šnipiškių Street is only for pedestrians, so the crops grown here should not be different from those grown by the townspeople on their balconies.
Already now, residents can come and admire the first edible flower garden in Vilnius. It is maintained and watered daily by gardeners.
