COMMUNITY GARDEN SURVEY

The 2009 - 2010 survey of community gardens was designed to update GrowNYC’s central database of community gardens and create new datasets around issues like food production and partnerships with schools.

Survey design, implementation, and analysis were completed by Mara Gittleman (2009 Compton Mentor Fellow) with GrowNYC's Lenny Librizzi. Responses used in this report were collected from August 2009 to July 2010, with a total of 223 survey respondents.
