URBAN GARDENING
About this course
Urban gardening is the practice of growing plants, fruits, and vegetables in urban areas. It can take many forms, from community gardens, rooftop gardens and vertical gardens to guerrilla gardening. There are an immeasurable number of benefits when it comes to urban gardening: reducing food miles, promoting healthy eating, improving air quality, and providing green spaces for communities. Unsurprisingly, urban gardening is becoming increasingly popular as people in busy, bustling cities look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, lead a more sustainable lifestyle, and enjoy fresh, healthy produce.
