Resident gardening in social housing environments : identifying the need / prepared by: Vagelatos Associates Landscape Architecture Ltd. : NH15-635/1983E-PDF

"This research was initiated by our firm to investigate a notion developed during the course of professional work that a need exists for opportunities for resident gardening at social housing developments. We are frequently involved in the landscape design of social housing environments and are faced with making decisions about what kinds of landscapes to provide and whether or not to provide places and facilities which allow future residents to garden. We felt a need to answer questions including: Are residents, in fact, interested in doing gardening? What kinds of gardening are they interested in? At what scale? What are the problems if any which occur regarding overall landscape maintenance when residents do gardening around their units? What are the policies and attitudes of management agencies towards resident gardening? Do these attitudes and policies affect the existence and/or scale of resident gardening?"--Introd.
