We are collecting this data for Nourish, to assess the social value of community members growing their own food, and to determine the best method of measuring and keeping track of your garden's progress. This research will be used to expand our understanding of the impacts gardening has on the lives of community members in Peterborough, and to encourage more people to become involved in gardening practices in the future.
