Love what you guys are doing. I run an organization called The Urban Garden Initiative that has a similar focus and would love to partner/collaborate on some future projects! Feel free to reach me directly at theurbangardeninitiative@gmail.com

Awesome thank you so much! Yes we believe that partnering with other organizations is truly one of the best ways to create larger and more sustainable impact.

Thank you so much! Yes so we actually do collect surveys/exit tickets at the end of all workshops to see how much the students grasped the topics that we are teaching and to see how much they enjoyed the workshop themselves and how we could improve. We have definitely found feedback from students, teachers, families, etc. to be one of the most useful tools for us moving forward. Yes we do take into account region when planting so all of the vegetables that we plant of course depend on area. Also for one of our workshops on saving species we take into account which plants are native to the area that the workshop is being taught and plant those for the activity.
