Mapping Community Gardens in Muskegon
This project included gathering data and GPS photographs to map Community Gardens in Muskegon, MI. A short survey was administered and photographs taken of each garden. Information gathered is being used by The Center for Economic Security (Muskegon County) and The Muskegon County Health Department. This information can also be used to help gardeners connect and share best sustainable practices, problems & solutions and ideas in the production of locally grown organic food.
