The evolution of community garden movements has roots in the late 19th century, however they became popular only after the Oil crisis of the 1970’s. A blossoming movement evolved on the historical ground in the USA and Western Europe and three decades later the first community garden opened its gate in Hungary, Budapest in 2011. In the last decade increasing number of publications interpret community gardens as alternative environmental, economic and social developments in urban areas. In Hungary, despite the above mentioned development potentials only few decision makers consider these urban features as a tool for development and nor researchers are examining them. In the first part of the paper we briefly introduce the historical evolution of the community gardens focusing on the main features and functions. Thereafter the study aims to introduce the organisational and operational schematics of Hungarian community gardens, highlighting the differences and similarities to western practices. For this reason this paper researches two community gardens, namely Megálló and Makkosház Community Gardens in a regional centre, Szeged, using empirical data. Interviews made with the gardeners and the coordinators represent the opinion and perspectives of the real users of the rehabilitated urban space. Subjects were asked in October of 2014 and in January and March of 2015. According to the results, the community gardens of Szeged are considerably differing from an average American community garden, but there are several common features with European gardens. In the case of Megálló community garden, a civil organisation is managing the garden. The community forming of the garden was recognised and more and more focus have been put on the garden, not only the civil organisation. Gardeners have multiple motivations, on the one hand to live a rural-like life in the city and on another hand to belong to a community. The Makkosház garden has different operational structure. The idea of the garden was a grass root initiative which had been encouraged by the local government. The community garden also offers different ways of recreation. The two gardens’ cultivation is similar. Both of the gardens are top-down directed and controlled which is opposite to the American and European practices. The empirical research highlighted that several positive effect was detected on the gardeners (e.g. stress release) and local community development started.
