Modern
Urban Gardening Trends
Urban
gardeners these days find themselves in new environments with
new challenges and limitations. Rooftop gardens, hydroponics,
and container gardening are examples of how urban gardeners
have adapted to these new conditions. In addition, communities
are working together to share the sparse open space that exists
in cities to create community gardens that provide extra food
and add beauty to their neighborhoods. People in cities are
also becoming more aware of urban agricultural projects such
as “Brownfield” restoration and Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA).
Communities throughout developed and developing nations are
pioneering urban gardening technologies and techniques. There
are “green roofing” projects popping up in Montreal
and Chicago, innovative community gardens starting India, and
urban rainwater catchment projects in Melbourne, or rain barrels for smaller spaces. Additionally,
new gardening theories such as “square foot gardening”
are specifically designed to help gardeners living with limited
space increase their yields.
World organizations and governments are also taking a closer
look at gardening and the urban environment, with urban agriculture
becoming an important theme at the United Nation's Food and
Agriculture Organization and at the World Summit on Sustainable
Development held in Johannesburg. This impressive web site developed
by “City
Farmer” describes how urban gardeners throughout the
world are working to improve their cities through gardening.
