Sometimes, the land is donated. Other times a lease is drawn up for a very nominal fee. Still, other times, if the land has been abandoned for many years, gardens sort of pop up on them unofficially. Gardeners divvy up plots, with some families having their own or others sharing. Sometimes there is a small fee to use the garden space, other times it's free. If you wish you had more space to grow things or would like an excuse to meet your neighbors, see if there's one in your area. Likewise, if you've a lot of gardening experience, you might consider offering your expertise (or even starting one).
