Gardening with Kids at Home

Hello Everyone

My name is Stacy-Ann Gooden, and I am a graduate student in the education department at Long Island University. I am reaching out to invite you to participate in my K-12 STEM school survey for my dissertation research. If you manage or coordinate a school garden, your feedback would be greatly appreciated. The survey will be open from June 12, 2026, to July 18, 2026, and should take about 30 minutes to complete. As a thank you, you will receive a $5 Amazon gift card. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at stacyann.gooden@my.liu.edu.

Thank you very much for your support.

Hi!

Thank you for sharing your dissertation research with the community. I appreciate the important work you're doing to highlight K–12 STEM and school gardening programs. I wasn't able to complete the survey before the deadline, but I truly value your efforts and the focus you're bringing to this area.

If you need additional insight, feedback, or participation in the future, I would be happy to support your research. Wishing you all the best as you move forward with your dissertation.

Warm regards,

Tina Steiner

Hi Tina 

Thanks so much for the reply. This was one of the best experiences over the summer ( and my life) so far. I appreciate the help with this research from the garden education community, which I am happy to be apart of as well. Everyone I have met have been kind and welcoming in sharing not just their experiences but their love for their programs. I am now in the data analysis phase of my dissertation project, which is a mix of feeling excited and stressed, but I am also happy to see the final outcome.  I will be in touch with future projects or events that come up for school gardens.
