Community GardeningCommunity gardens are small plots
of land allocated to groups of people by
some organization that holds title or
lease to the land, sometimes for rent,
sometimes simply as a grant of land. Community gardens run from 5'x5' plots to as much as 25'x25' plots. Usual sizes are in the 10 x 10 to 15 x 15' range.[citation needed] Community gardens are often run by a self-governing set of bylaws, some elect boards in a democratic fashion while others can be run by appointed officials. Most are run by a Non-profit organizations, such as a community gardening association, a church, or other land-owner. Others are run by a city's recreation or parks department, a school or University. There are many different organizational models in use for community gardens. Links & Resources
