Researching Community Gardening

---

Hi All,

 

I have been around community gardens as a volunteer, and now as a research & evaluation person, for several years.  It seems that recently there is an upsurge in research ideas around community gardens.

 

This may be because I only recently joined this Listserv.

 

Do any of you veterans out there have perspective to share on:

 

Is there an increasing research interest in community gardening?

 

If so, what do you think is driving it?

 

Thanks,

Ed
