shared garden
Neighbors' collective greenspace
A shared garden is a green space used collectively by multiple households, typically residents of an apartment building or housing development.
Unlike private yards, shared gardens belong to no single family but to the community: The building's shared garden has a barbecue area and playground.
The term emphasizes joint access and often shared maintenance responsibilities.
