Community Gardens in Fargo-Moorhead
Community gardens in fargo-moorhead
A community garden is a plot of land gardened by people. The land can be owned publicly or privately and can be gardened by either the owners of the land or the people that join the garden, or both. True community gardens are open to everyone and provide an area to grow fruits and vegetables. The garden is divided into plots which can be gardened by individuals or groups. Whether or not there is a cost associated with claiming a plot is up to the owner(s) of the land and/or the organization managing the garden.
