Abstract: This article first of all presents the evolution of collective gardens in Bordeaux and its metropolitan area from the nineteenth century up to the present day. In a second part, there is an examination of their typology and of their current functions. The study shows that shared gardens are the most well-established, but that allotment or family gardens still survive under certain conditions. The results of a programme of interviews and a quantitative survey carried out in five collective gardens in Bordeaux show that these gardens bring many benefits apart from merely providing food. Indeed, this food function is no longer predominant and the gardeners themselves usually underline the educational and therapeutic roles of the garden and its contributions to creating social links.
