Research Projects at Troy Gardens

Through their partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Troy Gardens has hosted a number of research projects.  Graduate students from the University have studied topics such as:

Changes in attitudes and behavior among individuals that join Troy CSA and how those changes relate to CSA membership renewal

Cover crop and soil amendment trials at Troy Community Farm

Improving soil infiltration capacity to restore the hydrological cycle in disturbed landscapes

Motives and values of adults who play roles in the creation and maintenance of educational gardens for youth

Each of these projects was designed in collaboration with the Friends of Troy Gardens staff so that the results not only benefited the students and academic community, but also provided valuable information and products for the organization itself.  To learn more about each of these projects click on the links above.
