Community Gardening

Original Post 11/12/12Life's a garden, dig it? All of our lives are intertwined, whether we know it or not, but people who are part of a community garden willingly allows others to dig their garden. For this blog, our definition of a community garden will be; any piece of land gardened by a group of people. Being part of a community garden has many benefits. It is shown to improve the overall quality of life for participants as well as encouraging neighborhood/community growth and development. In today's day and age, community gardens are becoming ever more prominent. There are even different categories of garden including urban, suburban, and rural community gardens. As we progress further into what this activity really means, we will venture into these different types of gardens. Being naturally curious, I plan to go around town and find some community gardens and hopefully interview some of the owners, maybe I'll find some dirt on these folks.
Until then, life's a garden, dig it.
