A communal garden (often used in the plural as communal gardens) is a (normally formal) garden for shared use by a number of local residents, typically in an urban setting. The term is especially used in the United Kingdom.[1] The centre of many city squares and crescents (especially in London, for example) are maintained as communal gardens.[2]
