Nov 26 2024 Share

Minister for the Environment Miriam Dalli has inaugurated the new and improved Independece Garden in Birżebbuġa.

All the imperative work done to the vital green space was all through Project Green.

Independence Garden is an important recreational space for the village, and the project was carried out in close collaboration with the local council to ensure it meets community needs.

Minister for the Environment Miriam Dalli, along with the leadership of Project Green and the Birżebbuġa Local Council, visited the newly renovated garden.

“This project is part of a broader initiative to create open spaces across all communities, enhancing the quality of life. Birżebbuġa deserves a space like this — a functional, community-focused garden with visual appeal,” said Minister Dalli.

Spanning 1,700 square meters, the garden had suffered from years of neglect. The regeneration included new walls, 20 newly planted trees, leveled terrain, new equipment, shaded areas, and ramps for better accessibility. Sustainable materials and an efficient irrigation system were also incorporated.

Beverley Costa, Project Green’s Chief Operations Officer, emphasized the goal of blending functionality with sustainability, while Birżebbuġa Mayor Scott Camilleri highlighted the project’s role in enhancing the community’s well-being.
