Description
Urban gardens are a common way to establish garden space for residents. There are many different concepts of urban gardens, but they are often semi-private with the possibility to rent individual beds (e.g. within community gardens, urban garden projects) or individual garden plots (e.g. allotment gardens). Urban gardens, especially smaller community gardens, can be established in many diverse locations such as courtyards and public spaces. Depending on the size and intent of the garden, they offer a variety of benefits such as locally sourced food and the promotion of social interaction.
