• Common Ground Appalachia Institute: Accessible Gardening & Ecology Interest Survey – Rockbridge & Amherst Region

    Your input will help shape inclusive gardening, ecology, and educational programs for our local community. Responses are anonymous unless you choose to share contact info.

  • Quick 5-minute community survey.

    Welcome! This survey supports the development of accessible and ecological gardening, education, and consulting services for residents of Rockbridge and Amherst Counties. As well as online!

    Your responses will guide workshops, resources, and potential services. Participation is anonymous unless you choose to share contact information. Data will be used in aggregate to inform program design.

    Early pilot topics may include accessible raised-bed garden setup, vermicompost systems, ADA compliance, neurodivergent-friendly gardening basics, and many others.

    Our consulting program and services will be guided by, and only in support of, our flagship educational programs currently in development. 

    This survey will help us narrow down what is most important to you!
