Object

Etablir un lien permanent entre les Fédérations nationales de coin de terre et de jardins ouvriers. Par «jardins ouvriers » l'Office entend les coins de terre mis par une initiative bienfaisante à la disposition des travailleurs qui n'en ont pas, à la condition qu'ils les cultivent pour eux et leur famille. Par « Fédérations nationales », l'Office entend les organisations qui, dans chaque pays, groupent les oeuvres dont le but est de promouvoir le coin de terre et les jardins ouvriers, tels qu'ils ont été définis plus haut. (HB 1936) To establish a permanent link between the National Federations of Allotments Gardens Leagues. The Office interprets "workers' gardens" to mean allotments voluntarily placed at the disposal of workers who have none, and cultivated for their own use and that of their families. The Office understands "National Federations" to mean the organisations in each country which unite the Societies whose aim is to promote allotments and workers' gardens.
