Community Gardens
Have you ever seen a large garden around your neighborhood
or city? It might be a community garden. Community gardens are exactly what the
name says. They are for the community to keep and maintain a garden. A
community garden helps keep people creating their own resources, helps them
save money, and lets them engage with one another.
“Organize a local seed swap and watch as your community
grows stronger, lusher, and more diverse”
It is more than a garden; it’s a meeting place to gather
with like-minded people.
“A few hours on an organic farm can change a child’s life
forever”
Being that a community gardens exist in neighborhoods, it’s
very likely that children will be exposed to the idea. At a young age they can
learn the benefits of gardening, collaborating with others and growing food for
themselves and others.
