Recent years have witnessed increased academic interest in the relations between  poverty, environment and place. Studies of poverty in disadvantaged urban  neighbourhoods have pointed to the contribution of despoiled local environments to  social exclusion. Work in urban political ecology has highlighted the socioenvironmental  hybridity of injustices in the city, bringing a political dimension to  debates on urban sustainability, while research on environmental justice has directed  critical attention towards the local and everyday (urban) contexts of socio-ecological  forms of injustice. This paper explores the everyday spaces and mundane forms of  (in)justice through a case study of community gardening in cities. Drawing on  materials derived from a recent study of 18 community gardening projects in  disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods in the UK, this paper highlights how these  projects are using ordinary forms of environmentalism to produce new socioecological  spaces of justice within the city.
