Nomadisch Grün (Green Nomad) launched Prinzessinnengärten (Princess Gardens) as a pilot project in the summer of 2009 on Moritzplatz in Berlin Kreuzberg, a site that had been a wasteland for more than half a century. Along with friends, activists and neighbors, the group cleared trash, built transportable organic vegetable gardens and harvested the first fruits of their labor.

Green spaces that residents create themselves and use to produce fresh and healthy food. This would result in increased biological diversity, reduced CO2 emissions and a better microclimate. These spaces would foster a sense of community and the exchange of a wide variety of skills and forms of knowledge, and help people lead more sustainable lives. They would constitute a kind of miniature utopia, a place where a new urban lifestyle can emerge, where people can work together, relax, communicate and enjoy locally produced vegetables. In the future, more and more people will live in cities rather than rural areas. The city will therefore become the decisive place for the development of more sustainable modes of eating, living and traveling. The city of the future should be a pleasant and climate-friendly place to live, where everything is done to preserve our natural resources. Prinzessinnengärten is a new place for urban learning. It’s the place where locals can come together to experiment and learn more about organic food production, biodiversity and climate protection. This space will help them adapt to climate change and become familiar with healthy eating, sustainable living and a future-oriented urban lifestyle. With this project, Nomadisch Grün intends to increase the biological, social and cultural diversity of the neighborhood and pave the way for a new way of living together in the city.

The ZAD ("zone to defend") of Notre-Dame-des-Landes is a "social experiment" set up by the opponents of the Grand Ouest airport project, in Notre-Dame-des-Landes. The struggle against the airport was the occasion for about fifty naturalists (called "Les Naturalistes en Lutte") to list the fauna and flora of the area, in order to defend it with arguments of biodiversity protection. It then became a zone of experimentation of life in non-market society and various other social experiments, which will last in part, after the abandonment of the airport project.
