There has been a resurgence of community gardening over the past
decade with a wide range of actors seeking to get involved, from
health agencies aiming to increase fruit and vegetable consumption
to radical social movements searching for symbols of non-capitalist
ways of relating and occupying space. Community gardens have become
a focal point for local activism in which people are working to
contribute to food security, question the erosion of public space,
conserve and improve urban environments, develop technologies of
sustainable food production, foster community engagement and create
neighbourhood solidarity. Drawing on in-depth case studies and
social movement theory, Claire Nettle provides a new empirical and
theoretical understanding of community gardening as a site of
collective social action. This provides not only a more nuanced and
complete understanding of community gardening, but also highlights
its potential challenges to notions of activism, community,
democracy and culture.
