Nevertheless, agricultural practices in family gardens remain relatively unknown. This cross-sectional survey sought to examine gardening practices and consumption of the fruit and vegetables grown among 150 gardeners of the 800 people with community garden allotments in the urban area of Belfort. Three types of gardens were defined, based on the diversity of crops produced, the gardening practices, and the rates of home consumption. Relatively few different crops were grown in the first group of gardens, cultivated mainly by families with children. The third group, on the other hand, were cultivated by elderly retirees, who no longer have children at home and who spend more time and considerable effort on both the variety and quality of the produce they grow. Tomatoes, green beans, lettuces, zucchini (courgettes), and carrots were the most common of the fruits and vegetables cultivated. Green beans, beets, leeks, and, to a lesser extent, berries, rhubarb, pumpkin and squashes, zucchini, and cabbages from these gardens were eaten in large quantities.
