Sounds like an allotment. We have them in the UK as well. Always wanted one myself. We put ourselves on a waiting list for one once but moved by the time our name came up.

Apparently a German great uncle of mine who used to own an allotment used to be a mining engineer. So he built a cellar underneath his shed and the soil was gradually distributed around all the other allotments. Then he built a cellar underneath the cellar and then went even deeper and installed a fish pond in it.
And then Steve McQueen jumped over it on a motorcycle?
