This thesis aims to assess the historical significance of the French 'Jardin Ouvrier' movement during the first half of the 20th century. The Jardin Ouvrier(worker's garden) is a patch of land in the city or suburbs, allotted to workers' family or those in poverty bracket for them to grow fruits and vegetable. The movement arose as a part of social reforms: to redefine the values of family and land, to improve the living standard of workers and to strengthen their morality by allowing workers to acquire the ownership of the Jardin Ouvrier, Owing to different kinds of social reforms and non-governmental and governmental support, the movement grew remarkably between the First and Second World War. The movement, redubbed as Jardin Familiahfamily garden) In 1952, is still becoming widespread. The Jardin Ouvrier movement was initiated by Ligue du Coin de Terre et du Foyer(the French league for a piece of land and home) organized by Abbe Lemire in 1896. Many groups actively joined in the initiative ranging from Catholic Socialism groups against both liberalism and socialism to bourgeois social reformists and hygienists. The Jardin Ouvrier was characterized by various intentions and features: a relief for poverty-stricken laborers, prevention against tuberculosis and alcoholism, reinforcement of family ties and affection, detachment of workers from socialism, and promotion of eco-friendly leisure practices. The movement faced criticism from conservatives and revolutionary socialists, bur succeed in raking its root as a popular and environmental-friendly form of leisure. The Jardin Ouvrier has been recognized for its contributions co curbing reckless urban sprawl, securing green space, and attempting to make a cultural combination of cities and farm villages.
