School Garden Sustainability Survey
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin with support from the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation created a survey to evaluate school gardens. After taking the survey, you will be provided with a synthesis of the survey 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. Teachers, administrators, and staff that are working in a school that has a garden of any kind can take the survey.
