urban garden
Downtown growing space
An urban garden is a cultivated growing space in a city or densely populated area—on rooftops, in vacant lots, or in small backyard plots.
Urban gardens range from individual vegetable patches to community projects where neighbors share space and harvest: The urban garden transformed an abandoned lot into a neighborhood gathering place.
The practice addresses limited green space, food access, and the desire to grow something in concrete environments.
