Only two things money can't buyThat's true love and homegrown tomatoes -Guy Clark, an American country singer-songwriter 1 1 Clark G (1983) Homegrown tomatoes.Nashville: Warner Bros.2 My own MSc thesis dealt with urban allotments as spaces of alternative food production (Sovová, 2015).Other master's theses were written on community gardens (Malá, 2015), the importance of gardens in the life of elderly women (Plošková, 2015), a conflict over the elimination of urban allotments in Brno (Hošková, 2011), and the use of agrochemicals in hobby gardens (Hrazdírová, 2010), to name just a few. 3 I understand an allotment garden as a piece of land divided into plots which are tended by individual gardeners.In comparison, a community garden is a plot cultivated jointly by a group of people.Both allotment gardens and community gardens can be categorized as types of urban gardening, together with home gardens in the city, guerrilla gardening and other forms of non-commercial food growing in urban settlements.Urban agriculture is a broader term that covers both private and commercial food production practised in cities. 4 Professional farmers were excluded from the sample. 1Chapter 1 2
