Urban Community Gardens

      Urban Community Gardens are now all of a sudden becoming far more frequent than they were 10 years ago. This is partly due to the way the climate is changing and how we are becoming more aware of climate change as a culture. We also have good economic reasons right now to start your own community garden, examples are the war, or economic depression. These events have caused people to spend less money and community gardening is a good way to save.

     These gardens are also good because large groups of people will work together in order to receive a benefit. This can help bring a community together because they will work together and share the profits. These gardens provide healthy food for people to eat, which in a large city where many of these gardens are found, can be very important.
