Very Simply, it is: Any piece of land gardened by a group of people.

West Hills Neighborhood Association is partnering with St. Peter's Episcopal Church to create a community garden in Amarillo, Texas, in which everyone, regardless of residence or religious affiliation, can participate. We hope people from all parts of Amarillo and all walks of life will come join in the planting, caretaking, harvesting and/or the sharing of the vegetables and herbs.

Wesley Community Center garden will include all the people they serve—children, teens, senior citizens working together with neighbors to provide fresh, organic food for as many as we can
