Question # 43

Passage:

A small city block once paved and vacant has become a community garden. In early spring, neighbors haul compost, mend raised beds, and trade seed packets like recipes. By midsummer, vines drape the fence, and children who once disliked vegetables snack on tomatoes still warm from the sun. Some residents come for the harvest; others arrive at dawn simply to water, to talk, or to stand quietly. The garden does not erase the city’s challenges—traffic fumes still drift over the hedges—but it shapes how people inhabit this place, giving them a patch of earth to tend and, unexpectedly, one another.
