This project aims to evaluate how community gardens in Vancouver's parks and city-managed lands contribute to fostering community and climate resilience. It develops a methodology for assessing how gardens impact these goals. The findings emphasize the diversity and adaptability of gardens in promoting resilience, equity, and justice. There is no single model that fits all gardens, as each prioritizes different aspects and reflects the unique needs of the communities it serves.
