Well, I can tell you that community gardens are a great way to get a group of people living in the same neighborhood to all work together and provide food for themselves.
In essence, it's kind of like a mini-farm. Everyone is dependent on this community garden for certain things, and they all work towards the same goal: creating food to eat, or flowers to view.
As you can see from these images from Google...
Not only do community gardens provide a sense of unity to a previously overly individualistic community, they also provide an opportunity to teach.
The lessons that can be learned through community gardens include: learning how to grow food, how to tend to plants, and also gives people a sense of responsibility. These people are in charge of caring for and tending to the plants that will eventually be in their own homes, or shared among neighbors.
So, all in all, community gardens are the bomb.com and should definitely be used around the world.
