      Hi there, while I really like gardens in general, it is community gardens and other spaces where people come together to produce food in cities that I am particularly interested in. I am really interested by these spaces not just because they are meaning that we make use of land within cities to grow food, but also because they can help to give people a sense of community and connection that is often lacking in modern cities. These spaces can help to reduce loneliness and peoples trust in others which can have real benefits for peoples health.
