cummunjity garden


one way people are responding to food safe concerns is by growing their own food . however , not everyone lives on properly with enough space for a private plot . one solution is community gardens , which have become popular worldwide , numbering 18000 in north America alone . in addition to providing low-cost , delicious food , these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits .

community garden are located in a town or city and tended by local residents . often , the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city . the site is divided into manageable plots , which maybe tended by individual or by the garden’s members collectively . since the land is usually publicly owned , the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal . in fact , new jork city , which is home to more 750 community gardens tended by more than 20000 members , charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot . other costs involve soil , tools , seeds fencing , and so on . however , because they’re shared by many people , individual garenders pay very little .
