Summary:
City Farmers is an inner-city youth program open to youth from all backgrounds to engage in gardening, learn about plant science, and hone entrepreneurial skills. The evaluation administered by Jrene Rahm took place during the summer of 1996, and was designed to examine the “meaning of science” in a non-formal youth program. Through qualitative data analysis of video, field notes, and interviews, the evaluator assessed the potential for such a program to be conducive to science knowledge and skill acquisition.
