Community garden

6130

The term community garden can be broadly defined as...

"any place where two or more people garden together; they are commonly established on vacant lots in central cities where land for home gardens is limited" (Review of Community Food Security Literature)

... or more specifically as

gardens "owned and operated by community organizations, nonprofit, or public entities, and provide local participants with consumable produce" (A Guide to Local Food System Planning for Scott County MN)

These can include a garden owned by a school, for example, as in C-G-B School Greenhouse.

Community gardens are nearly always in an urban setting, thus also falling into the category of urban agriculture.

Related terms: community gardening, urban agriculture

  We all borrow food practices and values from other people. But what are the channels through which we do this? Under what conditions do some people become teachers, and others learners? Items that describe social patterns in these channels and conditions help to explain how “structures of information and knowledge” become a factor shaping the food system.
