Urban gardening is revolutionizing city living. No longer are concrete jungles drab and lifeless. Now, individuals are utilizing urban spaces and filling them with thriving green spaces. This includes community gardens in vacant lots. In many communities, an urban community garden is addressing food inequities and promoting healthy eating, especially for young adults. For example, according to Eater Atlanta, the city has adopted this philosophy of urban gardening and now has over 150 gardens established to combat food deserts, provide fresh produce to residents, and create more environmental sustainability. In addition, in many cities, residents are taught how to create their own gardens, which helps improve well-being and mental health.
