Community gardens

Several boroughs offer residents plots of land to plant a vegetable garden, at a low cost. In most cases, residents of the borough where the garden is located are given priority when assigning the plots.

The community gardens provide:

• earth and sand
• a water point
• a shed or a toolbox
• tables

A few boroughs also offer smaller gardens in raised beds, which are better adapted to people with limited mobility.

In several boroughs, the members of each community garden elect a committee to ensure that the garden is run smoothly, from the beginning to the end of the season.
