NC Community Garden Survey
 

Are you part of a group of people that garden together (whether it be in your neighborhood, at your school, worksite, church, housing complex, or any other place)?

If so, if you and your group consider it a garden (no matter where it is), so do we and we would love for you to tell us about it.

The ideal person to complete this survey is the Community Garden Leader(s).

Who wants this information and what will it be used for?

The NC Community Garden Partners is made up of people from community and faith-based organizations, universities, public health and others who are interested in creating a strategic plan and statewide organization for community gardens.

This survey is the first action step that the Partners are taking in that effort, and results from it will help us to know about and promote the community gardens in NC through the NC Community Garden website --click here (http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/garden/CommunityGarden/) and other sources.

The survey will only take 5 minutes to complete.
