Purpose/Objectives: The goal of the program was to establish youth gardens across Wisconsin by conducting workshops for school staff and childcare providers on how to start and sustain a youth garden with limited resources. Methods: Evaluation utilized an end-of-workshop questionnaire and follow-up survey. The end-of-workshop questionnaire focused on participants' experience and satisfaction with training. Retrospective pre - and post-questions assessed changes in understanding concerning garden related issues and confidence in establishing and maintaining a youth garden. The follow-up survey focused on number and characteristics of gardens, use of gardens, and characteristics of youths involved. Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were used to analyze the data. Results: Three hour workshops held at 32 sites were attended by 672 participants. A total of 606 respondents completed the end-of-session questionnaire. Even though most participants had prior gardening knowledge, they perceived that training increased understanding and confidence related to youth garden tasks. A total of 180 participants completed the follow-up survey. Gardens were established at 122 sites, serving primarily youths in pre-K to 5th grade. Overall, 89% of respondents planned to continue their garden. Responses indicated that different reasons influenced the type of garden that was established (in ground/raised bed, container, microfarm, and cold frame). Providing school staff with gardening options to address barriers supported the establishment of gardens. Container gardens and microfarms were appealing because of their low cost and low maintenance. Perceived effectiveness of gardens did not differ by garden type. Applications to Child Nutrition Professionals: Child nutrition professionals may be more likely to become involved in establishing a youth garden if it can be accomplished in a manner that is compatible with their time and resources. This effort illustrates an efficient and cost effective means of disseminating and establishing youth gardens in educational settings.
