Community Gardens Mapping Project

From May 2023 to August 2023, our project aims to address the identified need for a centralized mapping resource for Community Gardens and Pop-Up Community Gardens. The project will deliver a comprehensive map informing future placements of both types of gardens, including historical information, geographical positioning, and demographic data. Tasks involve researching and compiling historical information, evaluating criteria for garden placement, engaging with stakeholders, utilizing arcGIS for visual representations, and producing a year-end report on high-priority neighborhoods. The resulting resource will greatly benefit the Gardens Team and stakeholders by providing a standardized and invaluable tool for managing current community gardens and planning future projects, addressing the existing challenges associated with data management and planning processes.
