What is community gardening?
Community gardening is a great way to get involved in your local food system and meet other gardeners. It is also a way to beautify your neighborhood and build community spirit. Community gardens can be found in urban, suburban, and rural areas across the United States. They come in all shapes and sizes, from small plots in backyards to large shared spaces in parks or on vacant land.
Community gardens are usually managed by a group of people who come together to plan, plant, and maintain the garden. This can be done informally, such as by neighbors who decide to start a garden together, or through a more formal organization, such as a community garden association or city park department.
Plots in community gardens are generally leased or rented to individual growers. The size of the plot varies depending on the size of the overall garden, but is typically around 10×10 feet.
Gardeners are responsible for planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting their own plot. Some community gardens also have common areas where everyone works together to grow crops that can be shared amongst the group, such as fruits and vegetables.
Community gardening provides many benefits to both individuals and communities. For gardeners, it is a way to get fresh air and exercise, grow healthy food, and connect with nature.
For communities, community gardens can help beautify neighborhoods, provide green space for residents to enjoy, create social cohesion, and promote sustainability.
History of community gardening
In the early 1900s, community gardens began popping up in cities across the United States as a way to provide fresh food for residents and beautify neighborhoods.
The Victory Gardens of World War II increased the popularity of home gardening, and by the 1970s, community gardens were being established in urban areas all over the world.
Today, community gardens come in all shapes and sizes, from small plots in backyards to large-scale farming operations.
They provide fresh produce for families, foster a sense of community among neighbors, and give people a chance to connect with nature.
How to start a community garden
Community gardens are a great way to get involved in your local community and to meet other like-minded people who are passionate about gardening. They are also a great way to learn new gardening techniques and to share your knowledge with others.
If you are interested in starting a community garden, the first step is to find out if there is already a garden in your area. If so, you can contact the garden coordinator to find out how you can get involved.
If there is not already a garden in your area, you can start one! The first step is to find a suitable location for the garden.
Once you have found a location, you will need to secure funding and volunteers. Once you have done this, you can start planning and planting your community garden!

I did a community garden for 3 years near Memphis. The gardening was easy, the community part was what was hard. I had one person help more than like 3 times in 3 years.

Message to all. I see lots of people talking about community gardens for general hospitals to help with mental health. But what about having some community gardens for mental health hospitals. Mental health facilities patients could greatly benefit from having a garden at their facilities as well. And it would give them more fun and healthy extracurricular activities instead of just blank colorless walls, tv, music and books. If we are talking about creating community gardens to benefit mental health, then Mental health institutes should definitely be included in the quest for health and healing. They should not be abandoned. Plants for everyone, everywhere!!

I absolutely LOVE this! I have been wanting to start a community garden in my community because in my community, there's not anything for the kids or the adults do to but get in trouble and drugs. I know that sounds so horrible and it is so sad but that is the reality of it. Kids are my big inspiration for this idea that I have. I would love to be able to raise the funds to get it started. How I would love to say that I am making a difference in my community and giving back to my community.

Just joined a community garden in Trento, Italy. I might just ask them if I could film something for as they do not have any content at all. As always, beautiful work Paragraphic 🌟
