Wajjed – Community Agricultural Garden

Wajjed – Sowing Belonging, Growing Community

Wajjed is a network of community gardens led by Ethiopian senior citizens, active in five localities across Israel. Dozens of dedicated farmers cultivate organic vegetables and grains using time-honored methods. Daily gatherings in the fields foster physical and mental wellness and reinforce a shared sense of belonging. Over time, these gardens have become vital spaces of healing, purpose, and intergenerational pride.

Alongside hands-on agricultural work, Wajjed offers workshops on nutrition and healthy living, educational tours for schools and visiting groups from Israel and abroad, nature-based classes for children, and vibrant community events that connect generations, cultures, and neighbors.

Wajjed transcends the concept of a mere garden—it is a replicable, sustainable model that inspires any community seeking authentic connection, ecological stewardship, and rooted identity.
