Community gardens are examples of local activism which is focused on alternative ways of gardening in urban environment. The idea to start searching these alternative approaches to gaining crops in urban environment is often coming from market overfilled with foreign restaurants, fast food restaurants, goods from mass production which is low quality, etc. The study deals with question how this lifestyle and its realization can be in harmony with life in the city.

The paper focuses on the identification and classification of community gardens in the Bratislava. It concerns a pilot study focused on community gardens in Bratislava (Slovakia). Community gardens in a post-socialist city can be considered as a modern phenomenon despite the fact that urban gardening was present in the city even during the communist regime in the form of allotments gardens and garden colonies. The main methods used to research community gardens include a questionnaire survey of members of community gardens and semi-structured interviews with administrators of community gardens. Different classification criteria (location, size, number of members, and ownership) are used in the paper to identify community gardens. Although the primary function of community gardens in Bratislava is the food production, formation of communities also plays an important role.
