[12:24.65]The last reading.
[12:26.99]Community Gardens
[12:29.63]UK residents have relied on community gardens
[12:33.39]as an important source of food for many years.
[12:36.95]And the contemporary community gardening movement began in the late 1960s
[12:42.86]with a renewed interest in green spaces in cities.
[12:47.18]Today, the gardens come in all shapes and sizes.
[12:51.74]They can be tiny plots, gardens on roofs and school gardens, private or open to the public.
[12:59.30]Besides, the scope of what community gardens can achieve also varies widely.
[13:06.11]They can provide fresh fruit and vegetables, a place for wildlife, improved play areas,
[13:12.56]an outdoor classroom and safe public spaces that are well-maintained.
[13:17.54]Moreover, community gardens often bring different cultures and generations together.
[13:24.70]This helps to improve individual and community confidence
[13:28.81]and bridge the divide between ethnic, political and socio-economic groups.
[13:35.52]Since green space is increasingly harder to find in cities
[13:39.74]and issues like sustainable development are always making the headlines,
[13:44.45]community gardening will continue to have an important role to play.
