I
was extremely excited to find this little allotment in a neighbourhood I seldom
visit in Tainan City. As usual, people found me interested in their plants and
were friendly to invite me to come in. This allotment has very simple layout
but with good maintenance, and two traditional water pumps outside the entrance
gate add its interests. What I always like to see in urban allotment, apart
from its chaotic creativity from ordinary people, is the nurturing of community
spirit while people share their harvest with others and exchange their
experience on growing plants. Aren’t these qualities all human nature,
creative, sharing, and greenery-loving, and the urban allotments provide the
ground for these qualities to thrive?
