Through the thematic oral history and careful notes in field journals, 10 residents in Ibirité, Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte –Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil– were interviewed. In addition to the ecosystem services provided by urban gardens, the research detected material and symbolic elements that indicate that people's feelings and beliefs are fundamental to the configuration of gardens in urban areas. The discussion started in this work, comprehends the borders between the countryside and city more fluidly. The oral stories told by the interviewees revealed knowledge, feelings and practices applied in urban areas but coming from a rural tradition. Another pertinent factor recorded was the role of symbolic exchanges in the maintenance of agrobiodiversity in urban gardens.
