In some cities public parks and open space are being changed into gardens where local residents can grow their own fruits and vegetables. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

In

this

contemporary world, public parks and open spaces are replaced by

gardens

in order to grow

fruit

and vegetables for their own meals

while

there are some disadvantages to the replacement. I contend that the drawbacks of the management in public places and the toxicity of using fertilizers to the environment outweigh the

increase

of awareness of healthy

fruit

.

To begin

with, the replacement of public parks and open spaces with

gardens

for local citizens can

increase

the awareness of eating healthy

fruit

. Nowadays, the priority of health is the most important to avoid illness or cancer.

For example

, eating their own fruits and vegetables will ensure refreshment and avoid stomachache.

As a result

, learning the importance of eating fresh

fruit

will help you to avoid problems about health at an old age. Another point is that planting

fruit

in cities will require fertilizers and it will be harmful to the environment.

While

the fertilizers will help plants to grow quickly, they will cause water pollution and the plastic trash will

increase

.

For instance

, when gardeners fertilize their

gardens

will affect the water underground .

Consequently

, it will

increase

the polluted water of the rivers of cities.

Moreover

, it seems hard for the security of the city to manage the garden when it is a public place. Take thieves as an example, they can easily steal fruits or vegetables

instead

of plants to grow their own fruits. The result of public space will easily for people to commit a crime. In conclusion. the drawbacks of public

gardens

outweigh the benefits it is given.

Hence

, the replacement of public

gardens

will cause various problems in cities.
