In the Chang gan li neighborhood of South Nanjing, in the fabric of rundown alley-style housing, left-over space is valuable for micro-agriculture. It's not about making a statement on local food; it's about convenient and free produce. The climate is warm and humid, with plenty of summer rain, making growing conditions highly suitable for a range of fruits and vegetables. Here, the residents have a nice plot of greens and peppers.

This garden plot is adjacent to a community center, placed next to the basketball courts and outdoor fitness stations shown below.
