The German Community Gardens in Garden Supplies Directory
More than 150 years ago a special garden arrived in many European cities, the community garden or as it is also called the allotment garden, the jardin ouvrier, the volkstuin, the Kleingarten, and so on. Given the long history of cities this may be regarded as a fairly short period. So we know from antiquity, for example from the city of Uruk in Mesopotamia, that about one third of the total area was covered with gardens. We also know that the citizens of ancient Athens in Greece had their gardens along the shores of the rivers at the periphery of the city. Nobody called these gardens community gardens or allotment gardens or the like. Nevertheless I believe we are not completely off the track if we imagine these gardens similar to the community gardens which we are accustomed to see for more than 150 years in cities
