Harvest
Harvest hub
Harvest is a multi-use agricultural hub at the heart of the Al Ghadeer community. Edible garden beds and fruit trees feed the neighbourhood, while the wider hub supports community planting and everyday connection to the landscape.
The Harvest agricultural hub is already operational, part of the community infrastructure that Al Ghadeer Gardens and Al Ghadeer Parks by Aldar buyers move into, not something promised for a future phase.
