Community gardens are a way to bring communities together by creating a common interest. They are a way to show an area that productivity is possible if everyone pitches in. The cool thing about community gardens is that everyone can reap the benefits if enough work is put in by everyone. Community gardens, for some reason remind me of the class pet that I had as an elementary student. The class had to pitch in to make sure that the hermit crabs had enough water and food to survive so that we could play with them when the teacher said we could. The pet brought my class together because we were all contributing to taking care of this one thing that we all shared. If one person was to not do their job and the hermit crab died, then the class wouldn't have been too happy and the same goes for the community gardens. Those who pitch in and make sure that the plants are watered and properly cultivated will happily reap the benefits when the plants start producing fruits and vegetables.
