The growth of community gardens: How gardening brings people together and improves the environment

Today?s life is very busy, with work and responsibilities taking up so much time. However, constant work makes the human body tired and we seek peace. This is where the benefits of a community garden can help.

Especially if one spends most of their time behind a desk or at a computer, turning to the garden can help to get rid of the day?s stress. Getting outside and feeling physically attached to the ground is a pleasant change.

Nowadays, community gardens are becoming more common and sought after by both residents and city officials because they provide a variety of functions within a community that society values.

These gardens are often promoted as having economic advantages, providing health benefits, offering educational opportunities, and reducing food deserts.

In particular, community-supported agriculture theoretically could address inequalities about food security by increasing accessibility to fresh produce

Community gardens offer people and the community many benefits. They provide opportunities for both recreational gardening and food production, in underutilized spaces. Community gardens are also great for the environment.
