Abstract
This article discusses the nature and functioning of community gardens in Ciskei, KwaZulu and KwaNdebele, arguing that these units have often been neglected by agricultural officers. It shows that these units, being indigenous and acceptable to the people, are indeed producing food and also display a great deal of local expertise, to be acknowledged and developed by agencies.
