A community garden is a shared, semi public space where people in the surrounding
neighborhood share the work and harvest of maintaining a garden space for growing fruits,
vegetables, and flowers.
There are different types of community gardens.
• one community garden can consist of several raised beds on an empty lot and neighbors can
come by each day to attend the plants and pick food to eat.
• A different community garden can be in the yard of a church to feed families in the
community that need help to get food.
• In large cities where families don’t have garden areas where they live. several raised beds in a
lot can be rented out to community members, so each renter has their own gardening space.
