During 1997, the research consultant firm of Jill Florence Lackev and
Associates conducted an evaluation of CommunitV Gardens-a collaborative
program administered bv the county offices of the University of Wisconsin's
Cooperative Extension. CommunitV Gardens sponsors programs in
Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Kenosha Counties. The gardening sites sampled
for this evaluation include four rental gardens, two youth gardens, and one
garden designed to serve the clientele of local food pantries.
The following chapter will summarize the research design and methods used
in this evaluation.
