Localicious

On Saturday November 28th, the weekly Saturday Market at the Auroville Youth Centre re-opened. Despite the threat of heavy downpours, eight stalls were set up in an effort to instill new energy into the ‘Localicious’ movement initiated by Krishna from Solitude Farm two years ago.

Have you walked behind the Town Hall lately? You might be surprised by what you see. Nestled in that dense urban area, surrounded on all sides by buildings, you can find young banana plants, bountiful bougainvillea, creepers climbing up the walls of Citadines, a robust vegetable garden, and a drip irrigation system supplying water to young fruit trees.
