Community gardens make an important contribution to the fight against hunger.
The gardens contribute to the health of Senior Citizens by providing them with an opportunity to make an important contribution to the community, as well as participation in an excellent form of physical exercise. Tilling the garden has changed the life of many of my elderly neighbors who otherwise would have idle hands as well as minds. The garden has given them time and a purpose to venture out of their lonely homes . As the plants and vegetables and fruits in gardens represent diversity, so the people who participate in community gardens bring diversity together. By providing a place to inspire gardening and wise land use.
