School Garden Sustainability Survey Request from the University of Texas, SGSO and SHCF

[Katie Nikah]

Hello all!

This School Garden Sustainability Survey was developed in collaboration with the University of Texas at Austin, Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation and the SGSO Network to collect data that will help us to determine why some school gardens succeed and become sustainable, while others struggle and have consistent challenges. We plan to compile data and share outcomes throughout the country to help improve school garden programs! 

In Spring 2022, we will be providing each school with a synthesis of their surveys in the form of a scorecard, which will showcase areas that are strong and areas that can be improved - complete with resources, guidance and advice on how to do so. We hope you will be a part of this revolutionary research that may shift school gardens into more, and hopefully all, schools in America. This is for teachers, administrators, and staff that are working in a school that has a garden of any kind. 

Please reach out with any questions or suggestions: ede...@utexas.edu.
