How to Rent a Raised Flower Bed Garden

Meet other locals, get exercise and improve the greenery in your area by renting a raised flower garden. While rules and regulations may differ from city to city, community gardening is driven by the American Community Gardening Association, which works to build a community through gardening and greening across the United States and Canada. The belief is that community gardening improves quality of life while creating attractive scenery and edible foods in rural and urban neighborhoods.
