- Tenants of Soihtu can participate in the competition by sharing the picture of their own gardening in Instagram and tagging @soihtuasuminen and #opiskelijapuutarhurit2023 in the picture. It is also possible to send the picture via e-mail to asuminen@soihtu.fi and we will publish it for you. By sending the picture, you give us permission to share it on @soihtuasuminen Instagram. The pictures needs to be published or sent latest on 20th of August.

- Student gardeners are searched locally in student cities all over Finland. In addition, the student gardener 2023 of Finland will be selected among all participants and given a 200 € gift card to a gardening store. The national winner will be chosen by a judge and will be announced by the end of August.
Do you already have a cultivation box or a gardening plot?
During summer moths, the tenants of Soihtu can reserve a small cultivation box in the Student Village or in Soihtu Vehkakuja or gardening patch in Kortesuo for free.
The cultivation boxes for the summer 2023 are already reserved, but if you are interested in a gardening plot, you can contact Community manager of Soihtu for further information.
