Please help us understand how interested Stratford residents are to establish and participate in a local community garden.

A community garden is a shared outdoor space where people work together to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers. They can be made up of a single plot or many individual plots. Community gardens may provide a source of inexpensive, nutritious food, an opportunity for physical activity, and a source of personal and community pride. Your answers will be used to decide whether a community garden would be used and supported by the Stratford community.

Your responses are anonymous and confidential. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
