Community or co op gardens are popping up all over the place. These are larger gardens that are tended to collectively by the community.

Not only do community gardens bring neighbors to gether, but they produce much needed fruits and vegetables in urban areas where fresh produce is more difficult to come by.<\/p>\n One of the best ways to keep a neighborhood safe and reduce crime is to clean it up. If your neighborhood could use a little clean up consider starting a neighborhood clean up group. Offer to fix broken windows of residents who might not be able to manage those kinds of tasks. Plan one day a month for neighbors to come out and clean up the parks and other public spaces in the community.<\/p>\nClean Up<\/h3>\n
