Green Oasis Community Garden
![Community Garden: Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land, community gardens are run by volunteers who cultivate vegetables or flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Generally open to all participants, they are sometimes fenced, locked or threatened by development. May offer hands-on learning and a habitat for birds and insects.

Overview
Large community garden that allows for communication between community members who may never have spoken before (ex. Tim and Pam knew each other before both joining the garden. Pam worked at a book store that Tim frequented. However, the two never spoke beyond that. Once joining the garden they began to find common interests. Tim also made friends with a neighbor who lived close but never spoke to before.) The garden is sometimes used by mothers who will meet in the garden and one mother will watch children for a short amount of time while the other runs errands.
