How does one come up with the idea of growing veggies at a cemetery? What challenges does it bring along, let aside ethical and religious aspects? Can cemetery gardening become a new mourning ritual?

In the first episode, I talk to Robert Shaw, a co-founder of the community garden Prinzessinnengarten at the New St. Jacobi Cemetery in Neukölln. The collective became worldwide famous thanks to its first location on Moritzplatz; in 2019 they got a chance to establish a garden on the premises of the evangelical cemetery.
