The Garden Charta is an initiative of energie-environnement.ch promoted in Ticino by WWF Svizzera italiana, aimed at raising awareness among citizens, property owners, and green area managers about the importance and care of biodiversity.

Lugano was the first municipality in the Canton of Ticino to participate in this initiative, in 2016, committing to managing its green areas more sustainably and encouraging citizens to follow its example.

Only a few simple steps are needed to transform gardens into spaces suitable for hosting local fauna and flora, thereby fostering rich biodiversity even in urbanized environments impoverished by human activity.

The city areas where the maintenance recommendations of the Garden Charter are currently applied include:

  • Tassino Park
  • San Michele Park
  • University Park
  • Seli Park
  • allotments on Via Torricelli
  • Gerra primary school garden
  • Cornaredo orchard
  • various school areas

The City has been committed to promoting biodiversity for several years and also supports other initiatives such as Lugano al verde and the new management of the Sentiero di Gandria, designed to enhance the natural features of the area and foster direct contact between citizens and nature.
