Investigating Migrants Adaptation Process through Gardening Practices in Community Gardens
Investigation approach to migrants' adaptation process in host countries has always been placed specific, in order to understand the whole connections to all aspects of life. In Melbourne, community gardens have been a place where immigrants start their interaction with others. The literature argues that the gardens can foster social inclusion, while at the same time providing space to preserve their cultural identity. This paper will investigate the adaptation of migrants within the garden setting, by considering the extent to which cultural practices in gardening affect their ability to adapt to the host country (Australia). The findings confirm a complex relationship between historical garden practices/culture and the reality of practices in community gardens.
