Divided or shared. Some community gardens split the land into individual plots where each person grows their own vegetables or flowers. Other gardens are grown all together, and everyone shares the harvest.

Gardens everywhere. Community gardens pop up in all sorts of places, from empty neighborhood lots to rooftops and even apartment balconies. They can be tiny or spread out over a huge area.

Yours to keep. When you have your own plot, everything you grow is yours to take home. But in collective gardens, everyone works together and splits all the food they harvest.

Learning together. Community gardens are great classrooms where experienced gardeners teach newcomers how to grow plants, compost, and use sustainable gardening practices.

Brings people together. These gardens create stronger neighborhoods by letting people meet, collaborate, and share a love of growing things.
