Community Gardening

Community gardening is a garden on land that is shared by a group of people. They tend to be found in urban areas where individuals often do not have land of their own on which to farm. The land for a community garden can be either public or privately owned, and plots can be leased to an individual, a group, and sometimes even provided rent-free. As mentioned in the Urban Farming section, produce grown in community gardens tends to be for personal consumption rather than sold, though some gardeners may choose to sell what they grow. I haven’t yet found a website with a database of community gardens throughout the US, but if you simply Google “community gardens near me,” that should do the trick.
