Community Gardens

Community gardens not only give local populations an area to grow plants, but they provide a safe place for all ages, incomes, and races to come together. A community garden is a plot of land that can be public or privately owned where members of the community are allowed to plant and harvest personal crops, create floral art, or just preserve green space. One great thing about many urban community gardens is that they are built on vacant or abandoned plots of land. This helps maintain the community. These public gardens teach the value of hard work, give an introduction to farming and food production, and allow communities to grow stronger, together.
