Baan Klong Jan Organic Garden in Sa Kaeo province used to be an empty space owned by the municipality. However, the local community decided to divide it among 50 people from impoverished neighbourhoods. They were allowed to use 200m² each to grow plants and each person grew flowers or trees and by doing so, they converted the empty space into a public space which has brought local people income from visitors and tourists.
