Notes:
Derek’s Responses
● Derek can email all the members with links to surveys
○ Surveys with diff titles may attract different people
○ Sending the same one multiple times might ....
● He has headshots of members
○ Would like to see faces, pictures of garden, photos of their harvest
○ Pictures of the food/recipe in their garden
○ “Could you send a photo of you in the garden”
● Asking members “Do you need Derek's help?”
○ “Who’s interested in giving a garden story?”
■ Give them the option of reaching out to US or Derek
● One survey for recipes, one for stories

Website
○ He imagines it more of it being a book than a website
○ Clicking on recipe, he wants to see: the person, blurb about where the recipe came from,
time of year (gardening is seasonal)
■ Raw food category, cooked food, pesticide
Challenges
● Plant changes (planting lettuce… done in 2 months)
● Yearbook
○ What can people take away with them?
○ A memento of member’s time in the garden
 ○ Yearbook pdf (template - table of contents)
○ Yearbook + member’s recipes!
● How can we make it a part of the community garden life?
○ People don’t update their personal recipes
● Idea: Map of community garden plots, mouse over plot “read this recipe”

Next steps:
● Send Derek copy for emails/announcements
● Update survey + collect responses
● Research templates/yearbook ideas
○ Design/layout ideas
● Define table of contents for recipe book
● Potential survey idea: identify what info members are willing to share
○ Photos? Fun facts? Favorite thing to grow?
