Community gardening is taking root in suburbia and new urban developments, transforming these areas into vibrant green spaces that unite residents. These initiatives include a variety of approaches, from organized community plots where neighbors collaborate to grow their own produce, to urban gardening efforts that utilize small spaces like balconies and terraces for cultivating plants. 

Additionally, there's the practice of guerrilla gardening, where enthusiastic individuals plant flowers and vegetables in neglected or underutilized public spaces—often without formal permission—breathing life into forgotten corners. These diverse gardening activities not only beautify neighborhoods but also foster a sense of community, encouraging residents to engage with one another and with their environment.
