Vegetable Gardens At Nowa Huta Prison In Krakow

In Krakow, Poland, on August 27, 2025, the Nowa Huta Prison in Krakow partners with Krakow's Municipal Greenery Authority to allow inmates to cultivate vegetable gardens on prison grounds as part of an urban gardening program. The garden runs for three years in the women's ward and since last year also in the men's ward, where since 2025 vegetables grow alongside flowers. Inmates also participate in other projects such as building hedgehog houses and insect hotels. The initiative aims to teach responsibility and care while providing meaningful ways to spend time. Participation is voluntary, and all harvests belong to those who work in the gardens. (Photo by Klaudia Radecka/NurPhoto)
