Oct. 22: Perception study

Some quick updates from Team 17’s weekly meeting:

  • Upon discussion with TA Lucy Rodina, we’ve decided to adopt a perception study approach. We’ll interview stakeholders and participants to see what the Herb Farm was planned to do, how it’s doing now, and what it could be, in order to characterize its role in the community.
  • Our tentative research question is now: What is the perceived role of the herb garden to various stakeholders and participants in this study and what actions can we take to fulfil this role?
  • We’ve split into two teams for the toolkit!
  • Team One (The Guys team) is responsible for writing the sections for the initial set-up of a herb garden.
  • Team Two (The Gals team) is responsible for writing the sections that correspond to managing a herb garden as well as creating and maintaining interest.
  • Correspondence with the potluck teams has revealed that we need to move up our toolkit deadline from Nov.26 to Nov.18. Yikes!
  • We’ve booked meetings with Chris Reid of Shifting Growth as well as Andrew of Gordon Neighbourhood House.

Exciting stuff. See you next week!
