Community Garden Interest Survey

Overview

As a follow-up to staff’s memorandum dated October 31, 2025, in response to Directive DIR 25-19 issued by the Board on June 3, 2025, Chair Jefferson directed the County Executive to work with staff to survey residents in the vicinity of the Pat White and Birchdale Recreation Centers to determine their level of interest in a community garden and their preferences regarding size, amenities, operating models, and other relevant considerations. The County Executive is directed to share the survey results with the Board and provide recommendations for the Board’s consideration. Such recommendations should include timelines, fiscal impacts, and any other pertinent considerations. The County Attorney’s Office is directed to review the information and recommendations for any legal issues. Upon completion of the research and analysis, the County Executive should report back to the Board with his findings and recommendations, either during a Board meeting or by memorandum, as determined appropriate.
