Travel Tuesdays: Community Gardens, an Urban Oasis

A Brooklyn Brownstone*.

Two weekends ago Sharee and I were walking in the early morning hours in my cousin's Brooklyn BedSty neighborhood, where we were staying for a couple of nights. We paused at the signage below:

Behind the fence was:

The ground is ready for herbs.

and 

Herbs being grown.

Who would have thought we would have seen a beautiful oasis in an urban setting? 

We walked again the next day and saw a similar oasis in a park and between apartment buildings.

This peaceful oasis can occur in any neighborhood. Have you created or want to create a community garden where you reside? Comment below about your experiences with community gardens.
