community garden

Neighborhood growing space

A community garden is a shared plot of land where local residents grow vegetables, flowers, or herbs together.

Individual gardeners typically tend their own sections while sharing common resources like water, tools, and compost.

Beyond food production, community gardens foster neighborhood connections and provide green space in urban areas: The community garden transformed an empty lot into a gathering place.
