“A Community Garden is a location where residents, without adequate space or sunlight in their own yards, can plant fruit, vegetables and flowers in a communal area,” a post on the city’s website says.

“Water, fencing and garden materials are usually available on site. Fees and participant volunteer hours are usually required.“
