We might have them, but we do tend to use different names for the same things.

Just a very small parcel of land leased by the council for you to cultivate your own fruit and vegetables.

Like a community garden? Those exist in some cities.

There was one adjacent to the last neighborhood I lived in Brooklyn. An abandoned(?) lot was either given or taken over by the community for gardening.

I think a small membership fee went toward upkeep. We left nyc years ago, so my memory is hazy, but I believe that was the answer to my inquiry.

Community garden might be the closest analogue? But we have those too.

I don’t know for certain, but I think they’re mostly reserved for urban areas, where green space is limited. When my wife and I go on our semi-nightly walks, I often wish homes and businesses planted more fruit trees, and when I see an empty lot I think,”that would make a great community garden.”

I would love to have something like that, though. Both my wife and I like to garden, but don’t have the space.

I’d, also, like to have the NHS.

We won't have it much longer, sadly. We'd rather do a racism.
