Community gardeners know that sharing land to grow food and other plants builds a sense of place and community.

The benefits of community gardening include:

• Easy access to fresh, nutritious food
• A sense of achievement that comes through growing some of your own food needs
• Making friends with people in the neighbourhood
• Learning the skills of gardening, shared decision making and cooperation, all of which are necessary to successful community gardens
• Healthy outdoor exercise
• Participating in a constructive and productive recreational activity
• Improving the local environment
