Community gardens are a wonderful place to get to know your neighbors and enjoy a healthier lifestyle at the same time. Many older individuals have spent hours in their gardens but now live in a condominium or home that doesn’t lend itself to gardening. Community gardens can satisfy the desire to get your hands in the soil. Many gardens provide plots of different sizes, so you don’t have to take on too much. They usually have a water source available. Often, there is someone around who enjoys trading tips for common problems, like pest control or what to do with too much zucchini. Trading your tomatoes for some gladiolas is fun, and friendships are usually forthcoming.
P.S. Participating in a community garden provides you with fresh produce and flowers, helps with the environment, gets you out of the house, and gives you something to share
