Dear Community Garden Organizations,

“Just how many community gardens are there?” This question is increasingly being asked by participants, policy makers, journalists, and the general public. Currently, we don’t have a good answer, since the last survey of community gardening was done over a decade ago. A lot has changed and we need better information, but to get it need your help!

The American Community Garden Association and Rutgers University invite your organization take part in a survey about the current status of community gardening. The survey is intended to collect information about the comprehensive efforts underway in the U.S. and Canada and includes questions about the number and type of community gardens in your community, changes over the past 5 years, and the role and challenges your organization faces in its work to promote community gardens. Summary of the results will be made available to the public on the ACGA website, at the 2012 ACGA Conference in San Francisco, and other publications.

The questionnaire should take 25-45 minutes to fill out; it will go faster if you have access to data on the number of community gardens associated with your organization. You can choose to take this survey anonymously, or you can enter your contact information to be entered into a raffle after you complete and submit the survey.

Raffle prizes are:
*Two free registrations for the ACGA 2012 Conference in San Francisco ($350 value each)
*One ACGA organizational membership ($120 value)
*Two ACGA prize packs (Shirts and Books)

Deadline for submission of the survey to be included in the raffle is November 1, 2011. Winners will be notified on December 1, 2011.
