Full textThe present work aims to study the reappearance of the phenomenon of the Community Gardens, all over the world and, specifically in the Portuguese context, with special focus on the city of Lisbon. For this purpose, there were selected the Granja’s Social Community Garden and the Campolide and Telheiras’ Recreative Community Gardens, where inquiries were performed with the goal to outline the characterization of the newly-gardeners and to understand the reasons that brought up the return of their interest in the farming activity. It was found that, regardless the typology of the Community Gardens, the reemergence of these spaces is related, not only with the fact that people enjoy practicing agriculture, but also with the growing concern about the quality of the consumed products. Other motivations were considered important, this time directly related with the typology of Community Garden treated. So, while in Granja’s Garden, many gardeners try to remember their rural life through agricultural activity, in Campolide and Telheiras’ Gardens, the proximity with the Nature and the practice of Organic Farming revealed to be determinant aspects. In summary, the reappearance of Community Gardens comes as a revival of past experiences and as a result of the current socioeconomic situation

Full textCleveland has experienced population loss in the past decade because of the economic and foreclosure crisis, which caused many of the residents to move away, creating an increase in vacant homes and lots. Urban community gardens are a form of greenspace that repurposes vacant homes and lots that would otherwise be potential sites for debris, dumping, arson, squatters, and crime. Other forms of greenspace have been shown to positively increase feelings of community, ties to place, and create feelings of safety while offering social space and recreation areas in urban environments. I conducted a survey at three urban community gardens in different Cleveland neighborhoods to determine who was using the gardens, how they were using them and if garden participation increased feelings of community, community strength, and improved how the participants felt about their neighbors and neighborhood. Non-gardeners were also surveyed for comparison. Survey results indicate that the gardens are similar to other forms of urban greenspace in that they serve to increase feelings of community, create ties to place by creating neighborhood satisfaction, and increasing feelings of safety. This research suggests that urban gardens are a positive way to repurpose vacant land in residential neighborhoods by offering greenspace and strengthening the community.

Full textCommunity psychology is a unique field of psychology that perceives individuals as linked to their context. The role of psychologist within this branch of psychology is viewed as one who is responsible for addressing the individual, as well as the social patterns and structures that adversely affect well-being. The use of community gardens as a therapeutic tool may serve as a two-fold intervention that can be used at both the individual and community levels. This doctoral project explores the therapeutic benefits of community gardening through the lens of the community psychology perspective. Framed within a community psychology perspective in which clients are inextricably linked to their social and physical context, engaging with nature through community gardening may lead to healthier client outcomes. A literature review was conducted to inform the author of current data related to the study of community gardens and their impact on mental health. The reviewed data pointed to the impact of community gardens on individual physical and mental health, and the social and physical community contexts that additionally affect mental health. Additional consultations with experts in the field were used to corroborate and extend research findings in the literature. The information collected from the current body of literature and consultations were presented as a professional presentation to mental health workers to increase their knowledge of the therapeutic benefits of community gardening. The limitations of the current body of literature, considerations for application in clinical practice, and recommendations for future areas of study were also considered.

Full textCommunity gardens have begun to increase in numbers in many highly urbanized areas across the United States. Community gardens are a form of urban green space that have many functions and can provide a plethora of benefits to its participants. While community gardens have proven to be very successful in urban areas, their success may be undermined by insecure land tenure. With the shift to governance and the adoption of neoliberal urban policies, community gardens may face foreclosure to free the land for economic development projects. Community gardens are public spaces, but legal access does not necessarily guarantee equal access for surrounding urban populations. Certain subsets of urban populations can experience unequal access to community gardens, both socially and spatially. This research employed a mixed methods approach to examining community gardens within the District of Columbia, including semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and spatial analysis. Issues of land tenure, management, community, and access were examined in three community gardens within the District of Columbia. This research has shown that the governance of community gardens can be messy, contributing to management issues. Additionally, the governance of these spaces affect who has access to these spaces. Access was found to be a multifaceted and complex issue, showing how community gardens can become spaces of exclusion. Finally, the gardeners interviewed did not agree upon the definition or existence of "community" within their community garden.
