Community Gardening includes back yard vegetable gardening, container gardening, gardening with edible accents, children’s gardens, herb gardening, hydroponics, and therapeutic gardens. Get involved in this exciting gardening opportunity by starting a community garden at a school, in your neighborhood, a vacant lot in a town or city, or at a church. Gardening is widely known as a healthful activity for the body, mind and spirit. It provides an enjoyable and leisurely activity for a growing number of people in the United States. This growing population includes many elderly and disabled individuals. Anyone can enjoy the benefits of gardening by choosing the proper garden design that encourages an accessible, safe and comfortable gardening experience.

Community Gardening has now evolved into more than just harvesting and sharing edible produce. It has become an opportunity for social change and inter-generational cooperation and interaction through awareness, education, experience, example, friendship and socialization.
