Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Cold winter evenings will bring dreaming gardeners together at the library to inspire new gardening techniques and ideas for the upcoming Spring garden season. Pleasure, new knowledge of gardens, and an enjoyable evening are all anticipated outcomes. It is hoped each attendee will learn one new gardening technique or idea. The outcome will be collected by show of hands survey and observations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Pleasure, new gardening knowledge and an enjoyable evening were all anticipated outcomes of the Garden Lecture Series. By observation and a show of hands survey (Did you enjoy tonight’s program? Did you learn anything new?) attendees appeared to achieve all three.
