Urban Gardening Help
Urban
landscapes are often viewed as barren and cold scenes of concrete,
asphalt and glass. They are portrayed as the opposite of the
rural pastoral setting, rich in vegetation and greenery. However,
in the biggest city, in the tiniest apartment, there exists
the possibility to reconnect with the natural world through
gardening.
Your urban home or apartment does not have to
exist as a lifeless box of concrete. Nor do you have to give
up the advantages of a big-city metropolitan lifestyle to take
pleasure in the joys of gardening.
Whether you plant herbs in a window box, maintain
a large flower garden in your backyard, or grow veggies in a
local community garden, you can garden in the big city. Additionally,
the simple act of planting a small flower garden, a tree, or
vegetables helps the environment and instills more pride in
your community. Even if you aren’t an avid gardener, you
can still get involved in local gardening and urban agricultural
projects such as Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).
Urban
gardening and urban agriculture are ideas that are becoming
increasingly important as our world becomes more urbanized and
developers transform agriculturally fertile lands and open spaces
into sprawling suburbs. This site is dedicated to those environmentally-conscious
urban dwellers who want to create a green corner devoted to
nature in their own home, or who want to support community-based
gardening or agriculture projects in their neighborhood.
