Urban Community Gardens

There are many positive aspects in the new trend of creating urban community gardens. This garden movement has gained an increase in interest of limiting food production. These gardens or oasis' create social connections and change within the community. Most people are not involved with growing their own food nor do they connect themselves with any local food production. Having these gardens open the eyes to many people and the positive impacts they have on a city.
Community gardens combine the urban agriculture experience, along with the social interactions of people who are involved. They reflect the diversity within the community, community involvement, and the interest in gardening. Unfortunately, community gardens are usually located in vacant lots owned by the city, so at any time they need that space they have the power to destroy anything on that property. The trend of these gardens are on the rise which is a positive impact for any community.
