Community Gardening
Community gardens are public spaces where you can typically rent a plot of land to plant ornamental, edible and medicinal plants as you like. Not only do community gardens provide access to fresh produce, they beautify neighborhoods, give a sense of community and connection to the environment. Some community gardens are tended communally, allowing everyone who helps out in the garden to have a share of its bounty.
These gardens help bring food production back to the individual, regardless of personal access to land for growing plants. Community gardens aren�t just for growing fruit and vegetables, though. Many community gardens are made up of native plants, herb and butterfly gardens and/or purely ornamental plants, often as a setting for sculptures and other art displays.
There are an estimated 18,000 community gardens in the United States and Canada. If you don�t have one near you and would like to start one, CommunityGarden.org is a great place to start. More
