I personally think there is no argument about whether or not we should have community gardens.
Its a brilliant idea. Especially for urban or impoverished areas. Or impoverished urban areas.
Just look at this beauty:
It used to be a parking lot! Now its a great place to
a) encourage the youths to get outside!
b) teach people about making healthy choices
c) teach people to grow thier own food
d) teach about sustainability
e) encourage interaction between generations
f) provide a beautiful contrast from the busy busy city!
ALSO ITS REALLY PRETTY.
However, concerns about the contents of the soil are well founded, especially in cities! Thank goodness some genius came up with these:
SO PRETTY.
SO INVENTIVE.
YES.
In short: Community gardens are awesome. They provide opportunities that people might no get otherwise. Also: food.
Here is some more information: Community Gardens near Macon, How to start a community garden, and 4 whole pages on the benefits of community gardens (in case you weren't completely convinced.)
