Community garden

A community garden is a piece of land gardened or cultivated by a group of people individually or collectively. Normally in community gardens, the land is divided into individual plots. Each individual gardener is responsible for their own plot, and the yield or production belongs to them.

In collective gardens, the piece of land is not divided.
A group of people cultivates it together, and the harvest belongs to all participants.
Around the world, community gardens exist in various forms; they can be located near neighborhoods or on balconies and rooftops.
