The first compound produced from the Community Composting Spaces installed in August in the Amial and Paranhos areas was already delivered to the participants.

The Jardim da Água returns next Saturday, May 14, with a program entirely dedicated to thematic activities for the whole family.

This week, the vice-mayor of the Municipality of Porto presented the Porto Climate Pact at the “Getting Fit for 55” meeting and at the General Assembly of the Eurocities Network.

It is now completed, in a joint effort by Porto City Hall, University of Porto (U.Porto) and the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (P.Porto), for the installation of an urban park of excellence on the university campus of Asprela

Originally from Turkey, it is traditionally known as the symbol of the Netherlands, but, these days, it decorates flowerpots, gardens, and public parks in Porto.

On the 5 and 6 March, Alfândega do Porto was transformed in a real garden to host the city’s always cherished Camelia Exhibition once again. Present in all the gardens – public and private – what many call “the most perfect of flowers” was celebrated with a market, but also with dance, theatre, and prizes.

The flowering of the camellias is scheduled for the 5th and the 6th of March, at Alfândega do Porto.

Porto City Hall has invested around 640 thousand euros in fitness equipment, to which were added 100 thousand more in the requalification and placement of 15 basketball hoops in sports venues for this purpose. These are real outdoor gyms. Spread all over the city, inviting people to exercise.

This Saturday, the entertainment programme “Jardim da Água” returns, with proposals for the whole family, to Parque das Águas, where you can find rare plants, old fountains, ancient city fountains and the best of Urban art.

The Porto Climate Pact was presented, last Monday, during the public meeting of the Executive – an initiative through which the municipality intends to bring society together in a commitment to ambitious goals with regard to carbon neutrality.
