The newly inaugurated Ġnien Fuq il-Glażiż in Vittoriosa saw a large turnout yesterday as many families and youths attended the open day activities. This event was organised by WasteServ and Project Green, in collaboration with the Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Regeneration of the Grand Harbour and Birgu Local Council.
The garden, inaugurated last Wednesday by Prime Minister Robert Abela, Minister Miriam Dalli, and Vittoriosa councillors, alongside students from Vittoriosa Primary School, offers modern facilities for people of all ages, including a dedicated dog park. Attendees at Saturday’s event enjoyed traditional Maltese games and potting sessions.
The 1st Cospicua Scout Group organised games and competitions, using the garden’s playground equipment. Children could also meet WasteServ’s three popular mascots – General Buzz, Commander Yellow, and Garbage Monster. Situated in the heart of Cottonera, Ġnien Fuq il-Glażiż is the perfect place for some quiet time or for a picnic with family and friends. The garden is named after the glacis on which it is situated, part of the historic Santa Margherita fortification.
The design, created by GreenServ architects, respects the site’s historical character, incorporating pathways around existing trees. Natural and recycled materials were used for the garden’s installations, and the garden’s lighting system operates on solar energy. Project Green will manage the maintenance and care of Ġnien Fuq il-Glażiż, ensuring that this urban open space continues to be enjoyed by residents and the general public.
