Gardeners of the Commons

Write a character study of several individuals or groups who frequent the community garden.

A community garden is a communal space where a variety of people converge, each with their own stories. These individuals could be regular maintenance staff, gardening enthusiasts, a group of children who ‘help’ by playing around. Look into their interactions with the garden, their habits, their reasons for being there, how these relationships are developed and the role the garden plays in each of their lives.
