Community gardens are popular in cities. Many city homes do not have outdoor space. People in cities often cannot grow a garden at home. So they share a community garden with neighbors!
In some community gardens, members work together. They plant one big garden. They all care for the plants. They share the vegetables that grow in the garden. In other community gardens, each member has a small plot of land. They each plant their own garden. They each care for their own garden. They keep all of the vegetables that grow in the plot.
Some community gardens are open to the public. Only members can care for the gardens. Only members can eat the vegetables that grow in the gardens. But anyone can enter these gardens. Anyone can enjoy their beauty. Other community gardens are open only to their members. Only members can enter these gardens.
Either way, community gardens are a shared space. They are a place to meet neighbors. They are a place to work together. They help create a sense of community!
