The Delphi method allows a group to anonymously reply to questionnaires and\u00a0receive feedback. This helps to reduce the range of responses and arrive at something closer to “expert consensus.” In determining the needs for a community garden a small group of myself and two classmates went through this process.<\/div>\n

Community Garden Needs<\/h2>\n

The goal of a community garden is to contribute to the\u00a0food provision, health, economy, and environment of an area. Community gardens bring people together and encourage safe and healthy environments.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Meet the Group<\/h2>\n
\"delphi-group\"<\/a>
Delphi Decision Making Group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Together we anonymously (and then, not so anonymously) shared our ideas for priorities of a community garden on a local, regional, and global scale.<\/p>\n

The class’ priorities were walkability, educational outreach, and healthy lifestyles and food choices. Our group followed closely with the priorities matching walkability and educational outreach, but varying with a unanimous agreement that gentrification is a priority.<\/p>\n

For the regional scale, our group’s priorities matched exactly with that of the class’. This demonstrates how the Delphi method can lead to a more expert agreement. Since access to water source, loss of protected areas, and socioeconomic inequalities were all chosen as priorities, they must be imperative to the success of a community garden.<\/p>\n

The global impact of a community garden can be hard to judge. This is a general outline of the goals a community garden should aspire to achieve. Once again, our smaller group matches up with the class as a whole. The top three priorities are conservation of forest lands, water quantity and quality, and biodiversity.<\/p>\n

These prioritizations guide the final step of the project. The redesign of the HOPE Garden! By knowing what a community garden should accomplish on all these scales, we can better judge and suggest designs for our own local garden. Check out the final project to see how it’s done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
