Can community gardens promote more sustainable lifestyles?
2021
The results of the JArDinS study—conducted in the Greater Montpellier area—did not reveal any changes towards more sustainable lifestyles among community garden users a year after they began participating in the garden.
Novice gardeners mentioned several difficulties in getting involved in their community garden, which they visited irregularly. This could explain why no lifestyle impact was noted.
The organization of community gardens should be revised to promote long-term integration and active participation of city dwellers (location close to their households, support, and regular activities), thereby enhancing lifestyle sustainability.
