History[edit]
In 2007, the Girona City Council launched a program allowing residents to rent small municipal plots for personal or leisure gardening.[1] It began with 91 plots, rented annually according to size. Over time, this expanded to 18,000 m² with 169 plots.[1]
Since 2009, management has been handled by the Association of Users of the Hortes de Santa Eugènia, under a formal agreement with the city.[1] The association assigns plots and collects an annual membership fee.[1]
