The Garden Organic Members' Experiments Programme - celebrating 60 years of Citizen Science in Organic Horticulture

This e-book summarises the findings from a project that reviewed the long running citizen science programme - the Members’ Experiments scheme of the Henry Doubleday Research Association (HDRA), now operating as Garden Organic. This project aimed to 1) review and celebrate the activities and achievements of the scheme, 2) evaluate the role and impact of the programme for the organisation itself, the participants, the wider organic movement and for organic gardening practice 3) Evaluate citizen science as an approach for generating and sharing knowledge.
