Abstract:	In this study we conducted an exploratory survey of four community gardens in the Taipei area, Taiwan, in order to acquire a general idea of the nature and implementation of such gardens. In Taipei City there are few community gardens for local residents to grow their own food. Most public space is used for landscape gardens with the primary purpose of providing aesthetic scenery and recreation. Transforming this land into community gardens would involve people in a more sustainable lifestyle, namely, growing vegetables, fruit, edible plants, and herbs. This would generate an interactive social space for neighbors to learn and teach the importance of growing one's own food. The four gardens visited all charged nominal plot fees and had basic rules regarding use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. All were fully used and continually trying to expand.
