What is Community Gardening?
Community gardening is the collaborative cultivation of a shared plot of land by a group of people. This shared space, whether a small urban lot or a larger area in a suburban or rural setting, is used to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, or other plants. The key element is the shared responsibility and the collective benefits derived from working together. Community gardens offer a range of advantages, from providing access to fresh, affordable produce to fostering social connections and promoting environmental stewardship. They serve as valuable resources, enriching both individual lives and the wider community
