1 MPS School Garden Survey MPS is conducting a school garden survey! Whether or not your school has a garden, we'd like EVERY MPS SCHOOL to complete the following survey. It should take minutes to complete if your school has a school garden; less if your school does not. The information gathered from this survey will help MPS and Youth Farm better understand how school gardens operate and what garden needs are so that we can provide support. This survey may take more than one person to fill out! Please work with teachers, partners, volunteers, or students involved in your school garden to answer the questions as completely as possible. If you have questions, please contact Callie Recknagel at school.gardens@mpls.k12.mn.us.
