Community gardens provide a number of social and civic benefits. While most community gardens are at street-level, rooftop might be used to replace green spaces that have been lost during development. Rooftop gardens can provide similar benefits to those provided by street-level gardens. However, there is a lack of research that compares experiences between street-level and rooftop garden participants, as well as urban and suburban contexts. Community garden participants were surveyed in Mississauga and Toronto, Canada to better understand how garden setting affects experiences. Respondents' perceived benefits differed from those identified in the current literature, highlighting the need to examine a variety of gardens and participants. In the Mississauga gardens, community benefits were consistently identified. Members from Ryerson's rooftop growing space identified broader challenges related to sustainability. Both garden types provide a range of benefits, but to contribute to local sustainability goals, there must be participation from a wider population.
