Land for garden in my town costs like 1000 eur per square meter. Gardening clubs are full of old dudes, who want to have a sex with me. Public libraries are homeless shelters now. If I actually plant some vegetables (in pots or front yard), it will be full of dog/cat excrements the next day!
You are living in imaginary land, nothing is free in todays society!
Just because you live in some shitty, doesn't mean everyone has to or wants to be...
(I do realise you used euro, I just don't think we need to adjust our standards down, when our locality sucks.)
