Minneapolis Public Schools Culinary and Nutrition Services and Youth Farm are excited to share the results of the 2014 MPS School Garden Survey with you. Thank you for taking the time to fill it out and for providing valuable information about your school’s interest in school gardens.

The MPS School Garden Map and final summary report is available here. 

This survey helped identify the current landscape of school gardens in the district and the areas that need the most support. The summary provides some of the major findings including data, quotes, and photos from several school gardens in the district. The results demonstrate a widespread interest in and support for school gardens throughout the district. MPS Culinary and Nutrition Services and Youth Farm look forward to growing their partnership to support school gardens and create opportunities for food, farming, and nutrition-based education.

For more information, please feel free to contact school.gardens@mpls.k12.mn.us or call 612-668-2854.

Sincerely,
