Urban gardening is the growing and planting of plants in the city or area where there are many people.
Explanation :
Where does urban gardening come from?
Long before planting even in ancient times, it originated in Egypt. Since then it has been used in various ways such as when food was scarce during World War I and World War II. Nowadays it is not only used to get food, many people do it because it can provide emotional and stress relief.
Some Hollywood personalities like this have become normal activities:
Oprah Winfrey
Julia Roberts
Reese Witherspoon
Ringo Starr
Here are some of the most important things to consider when starting urban gardening:
It is important that the plants have enough sunlight.
It is also important to have adequate planting depth.
Drainage is important where water flows.
The benefits of urban cultivation outweigh the nutritional aspect, though of course, it is a major part of it. Urban garden plants can also provide higher incomes, jobs, food for the household, reduced grocery spending, and a "common ground" for neighbors. It has also made use of vacant land plots that have been useless for years and are now recovering productive use.
Garden communities have existed in many cities for many years and in addition, bringing people together can also reduce the investment aspect of gardening as tools can be purchased for the group and distributed. Also, each person can focus on one or two specialties that allow them not only to exchange with their neighbors but to sell their excess. Not only that, but it can provide enriching and fulfilling activities for children, teens, and adults.
One section of the population that has been practicing "urban" farming for years is the prison population. Many prisons have their own garden where they grow vegetables for their own kitchens. It's a way of not only cutting costs but also providing jobs for "idle hands". There are many benefits to working at the hands of a person on the ground as it is a very calming, caring, and healing activity.
