Community gardens and city farms are local initiatives based around a piece of land, usually where crops are grown and small animals such as chickens may be kept. Community gardens are often a lot more neighbourhood based than allotments, with groups of individuals working together to grow food. Plots may be small and the work shared. Sometimes the plots will be expressions of the background of the local population, with various ethnic crops being grown. Community gardens can be large and well organised or quite simply small patches of unused land. In some areas, giant builders’ bags filled with soil have been used to turn an empty patch of derelict concrete from an eyesore into a productive and colourful area.
