MEASURING THE IMPACTS OF YOUR GARDEN​

Resourceful Communities  helps community partners address environmental, social justice, and economic issues.  This is also known as the "triple bottom line," and it informs all of our work. 

 

This website was developed to help community gardeners capture these triple bottom line impacts.  It provides practical steps to develop strong and ongoing evaluation practices, which will help tell your garden's story and ensure you’re meeting intended goals.  What you’ll find:

 

• INFORMATION: What to measure and how to measure for strong garden evaluation.

• NAVIGATION:  Click tabs at the top to explore each triple bottom line theme with measures.

• TOOLS: you'll find step-by-step guidance as sell as downloadable tools.

​

We strongly recommend you start with the GOAL SETTING tab.
