Abstract

Economic difficulties and hostile environments are elements that are constantly affecting inhabitants of marginalized areas. Unemployment, poverty, and insecurity are part of the everyday life in these neighborhoods. However, this study observes that engaging in gardening activities can offer the inhabitants of these areas a relief of their distressed life. The objective of this paper is to analyze a successful case of abandoned areas that were revitalized into urban gardens. Moreover, the impact on the well-being of inhabitants from an economic, sociological, and environmental perspective will be presented with the example of the collective Organic Eden in the city of Guadalajara in Mexico.
