Vegetable Gardens At Nowa Huta Prison In Krakow

In Krakow, Poland, on August 27, 2025, a prison officer at the Nowa Huta Prison oversees a program where inmates cultivate vegetable gardens on prison grounds, thanks to a partnership between Krakow's Municipal Greenery Authority and the Krakow Remand Prison. The garden operates for three years in the women's ward and since last year in the men's ward, where vegetables grow alongside flowers since 2025. 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)
