The application for annual plots for urban farming starts on 7 April

The City of Tampere has 14 plot areas in different parts of the city for urban farming. Some of the plots are perennial and some are annual. This year, annual plots are available in six areas. The application period for the plots starts on Monday 7 April at 12 noon and ends on Tuesday 22 April at 23.55. 

The size of the plots varies between 20 and 200 square metres. Prices are low and vary according to plot type and growing season. You can check the current rental prices for the city's plots on the website of the Tampere 4H Association. The Tampere 4H Association is responsible for managing and renting the plots.

Organic farming is encouraged and the use of pesticides, for example, is prohibited.

Takahuhti's annual plots will not be distributed this year. Nature-based solutions for flood and stormwater management will be developed in the area. The Takahuhdi plot area will be ditch-dug and the excavated material from nearby excavations will be placed and spread on the annual plot area. The Takahuhdi plots will be allocated again in 2026.

To apply for a plot, fill in the form

In addition to plots, urban farming is also possible in many transplanted gardens and community plantations. These opportunities are managed by a number of different actors. Information on all these possibilities has been collected on the City of Tampere website. The website will be updated and supplemented.

You can apply for an annual plot in one of the areas of your choice. If there are more applicants than plots, they will be drawn by lot. You can apply for a plot by filling in the 4H Association's application form.
