The District School Garden Assessment has been developed by OSSE to assist District School Garden Coordinators  to evaluate their programs, to help focus and guide conversations with school wellness committees, and to reassess thriving garden programs or plan new programs altogether. The data collected is also used to inform OSSE on training topics, initiatives, and resources. OSSE is able to provide historical assessment data to schools upon request.

In response to feedback from school garden coordinators, an online version of the assessment can now be found and submitted here. A PDF version of this assessment can be found here.

Additionally, please visit the OSSE School Gardens Program's Flickr page to view photos for criteria. If you have photos to share, or if you have questions about this assessment please contact Sam Ullery at [email protected].
