Community Gardens
Community gardens are plots of land, typically owned by local governments or non-profit organizations, available to people desiring to grow food for themselves, their families, and their community. People are drawn to community gardens for many reasons; some due to a lack of personal garden space or fertile soil at their place of residence, others in order to foster a sense of neighborhood/community interdependence and cooperation.
