People's gardens

There's a word in Dutch that means "people's gardens." It's a great concept especially for folks who live in apartment buildings in cities and don't have access to areas for gardening. In Brussels, there are tracts of land (maybe as large as a soccer field, or larger) sub-divided into small (10'x10', or so) parcels with narrow paths in between. People pay a small fee to use the small parcels as their personal gardens. They plant what they want and bring all their own tools, and they've got an opportunity to garden in the midst of the city. I like it... you know, for all those gardeners out there. Not that I would ever dirty my hands in such a way, but it's a great concept.
