@@anamericaninpoland after twelve years I'm tired of the cold. I like to grow my own vegetables and I'm thinking more and more about moving to Paragway. There are not as many regulations as in Europe and a good climate for growing vegetables.🤔
Moja rodzina też miała działkę, chociaż nie ROD i była ona większa, z przeznaczeniem na ogród warzywno-owocowy. To była dla mnie nauka co to znaczy praca, bo działka była dość duża i roboty było wiele. Okazało się np., że jedziesz do roboty w sobotę i zakładasz, że jak już zrobisz to co miałeś zrobić czy miałeś zaplanowane, to spadasz i zaczynasz weekend. Ale zawsze może okazać, że może być coś jeszcze konieczne do zrobienia. No, i trzeba to zrobić... Trochę u Dziadka na wakacjach pomagałem w gospodarstwie i to było coś podobnego. Ale jak na to patrzę z dłuższej perspektywy, to uważam, że to było bardzo fajne (np. dlatego, że rodzinne) i później w życiu przydatne.
Dorastałem na farmie w USA. było to wspaniałe przeżycie, za które jestem wdzięczny. pielęgnacja ogrodu to mnóstwo pracy, ale jak sama powiedziałaś daje dużo satysfakcji.
@@anamericaninpoland obecnie od dwóch sezonów dzieci mnie cisną, żebyśmy na ogrodzie wydzielili część na "szklarnię" z tworzywa i uruchomili produkcję własnych warzyw itd.

@@anamericaninpoland if I see you through all the bushes, sure :) That red bike always catches my eye. I’m relatively new there. Having a garden since last year.
@@anamericaninpoland Yeah, I remember seeing your garden for sale on the Internet around 2021-2022 when we were looking for our own. We checked out a few gardens and eventually picked one just two intersections south of yours and a little to the side. No, I don't have any bike. My trademark are twin girls, with whom I sometimes walk around the neighborhood.
The idea of an Ogród działkowy - allotment garden comes from the UK. The first were created in Birmingham (1732). An allotment (British English), or in North America, a community garden, is a plot of land made available for individual, non-commercial gardening or growing food plants, so forming a kitchen garden away from the residence of the user. Many "community gardens" founded in the United States began as "victory gardens" in World War II, and later evolved into community gardens. Such allotment gardens also operate in the USA. Although there are few of them now. Allotment gardens operate in many other countries.
Great video! I first learned about the concept in Germany in the '90s. How would one go about finding a ROD garden for sale? Is there a website where these are listed? If you live there, how do you show that you have a primary residence elsewhere? Thank you!
You have to have a primary residence such as an apartment or house to be eligible purchase an allotment and you aren't officially allowed to live in the gardens so you cannot use it for residency purposes especially as a foreigner with TRC. Typically allotments are advertised on apps such as Facebook marketplace or OLX but sometimes you can check the community bulletin board at the garden and people will advertise a plot for sale there. Some gardens will require that your primary residence is within a close distance to the garden as well, the reason for this requirement is they don't want people to let the garden to become destitute because it's too far for them to travel to.
@@anamericaninpoland Thank you! I'm definitely intrigued :) Just found your channel through this video but I noticed you have a lot of other good content I'm definitely going to go through!
Knowing you and where you are from, AWESOME idea. It would be an interesting thing to see if the various levels of US goverment could impliment such an idea.
@@karolak9983 it could be done privately as well. The reason I say government is because state and federal land can be used. The problem with it being done privately is land value and taxes on that property in most states are so high that it would make it cost prohibitive. If government lands were used those costs could easily be so but completely removed.

@@yakeosicki8965 absolutely. Growing up in the USA I've seen community gardens but it's usually a small garden where each person gets a percentage of the yield from each crop depending on how much time they put into the garden. My grandmother had a place in Connecticut that was something like what you see in Poland but even then it was more of a vacation commune. Honestly I haven't experienced anything like the gardens here in Poland anywhere in the North East of the USA.
Loved this video! I’ve been trying to find similar properties in the US but have been unsuccessful. Are you aware of any or any resources for how develop one myself on land I buy?
That I don't know I know my grandparents had something similar in forest ville Connecticut up until the 80s when it was bought out but I don't know of anything current. I don't see why it cannot be done though I'm not sure about tax implications or community ownership/leasing that can get really tricky in the States.
@@anamericaninpoland so do you still need another primary residential address? Or since they allowed you to buy it, you don’t need another primary address?
@@Jaslittleflower the ROD property cannot be a primary residence for temporary residency. When you buy a rod property you have to show a primary residence in order to purchase it. It's one of the downfalls of the ROD property.
I saw the video where you talked about buying real estate in Poland, and you mentioned that you aren't allowed to live on an ROD garden year around. What is the reason behind that?
I'm not sure to be honest. I think part of it is because the traditional use of the property is for vegetable gardening and the structures on the plots near/in the cities tend to be very minimalistic. So it's a public welfare situation. There has been some conversation throughout the government about the situation but it's a very contentious topic for some reason. I think in the not so distant future the rule may change but it's hard to say for sure.
@@anamericaninpoland It would make sense, because I know I personally would want to have a lot of good, kind neighbors, but I know I also would not want to have to worry about bothering them. If I could live on an ROD garden, rather than in an apartment, condo, duplex, or townhouse, this would work out well for me. Now, as I mentioned, I'm not looking to move to Poland, but I'm thinking of those who are.
@@leannestrong1000 absolutely. Even in the gardens you have to be careful about the noise levels and most people are there are a few people who think every day is a disco but for the most part the gardens are very peaceful
@@anamericaninpoland Well, yes, you still do have to be considerate of your neighbors, but I often like to play videos on UA-cam to help me sleep, and I know I wouldn't want my neighbors to complain to or about the noise of the videos late at night, while everyone else is trying to sleep.
"Ogródki działkowe" for my generation brought up in the city, in the concrete desert (I was born in 1979). In the 90s it was a perfect place for partying and barbecuing (for us as teenagers ). You just had to remember not to trample the beds of cucumbers or other tomatoes, because that generation of our fathers and mothers had some ambition to have something that grew on their own, I think it was a hobby, because it was no longer about feeding the family like, no I know 30 40 years ago.
We have a saying where I'm from. "Even a blind squirrel can find nuts sometimes" in other words even the communists can get something right some times lol
@@anamericaninpoland Beside this. You have nice observations and I think that if you wanted to make the audience more interested ouf your vidoes, Polish or American expats, I think Patrick Nay or I "love My Poland", there are people who would be happy to talk to you and I think it would be interesting.
@@kajosan79 I would love to get to meet them. I have watched a lot of their videos. It would be awesome to have an audience like they have. Maybe some day. I'm enjoying exploring Poland and making videos. I really appreciate it when people enjoy them.
Nice I make 2k euro but rent is so expensive and I have a kid. I live 2 weeks in a car and hostels other 2 weeks in a truck driving. I have dual citizenship. How can I buy a property like this in Krakow? I'd build a small cottage and love gardens
Most of these properties are sold in cash transactions from my understanding banks will not give a loan for the purchase of a ROD. The best advice I can give is search on OLX or Facebook for a rod property in the area you are looking for. Be prepared if the garden is close to the city it can have a smaller parcel size and greater restrictions on what can be built and how often you can access it with your car. For example one garden in Gniezno only allows gardeners to enter the garden with their car on Wednesday each week and the parcel size is about half the standard size.
Also many gardens require a primary residence on file within a certain distance from the garden as they are meant to be used as gardens/vacation spaces and not as a primary residence.
Looks like you feel free man here in Poland away from US corpo sh... And that rat race. When i was living in NJ (5yrs) i was feeling im living there only for work in Europe mostly you work to live.
100% truth! I love my life here. The scenery the history and the people really make Poland special. I've made a couple of friends and it really feels like home. I look forward to many years here.
@@anamericaninpoland as a Pole i very glad to hear that and very happy you chose my country. Im always remember USA for us was dream country thats why polish community was so strong in IL,NY,NJ. But after 5yrs in USA when i came back to Poland as a member of UE i was shocked how deeply this country has changed in plus in some areas now we are few steps forward comparing to USA.
@@xxNDFxx the modernization of the infrastructure and the restoration of the historical buildings in Poland in the last 30 years is amazing! I do hope that Poland is able to maintain its traditional values and doesn't go down the same path as the USA in that regard. That's one of the things I love about Poland, it's traditional family values and the ingenuity of the Polish people.
@@anamericaninpoland We saw how bad USA and west got and we will never ever follow that path. It leads only to destruction and pretending that crazy people are not crazy and that we exists and live only to work for corporations till we die.
I'm from the mountains in North East of the US. the weather here in Poland during winter is very mild. We actually make a couple of trips to the mountains each winter so I can feel more like home. Florida has far too many snakes and spiders for my liking and the summer is like the seventh level of hell lol
In order to own a rod property you have to show that you have a primary residence within a certain distance of the garden. Yes you can eventually own land in Poland without being a citizen but it's a long process.
