The methodology used to evaluate the Kitchen Garden Program consisted of a longitudinal design utilising a mixed methods approach. A combination of qualitative and quantitative data was collected from six participating schools and six comparison schools over a two-and-a-half-year period, to assess change over time. This measured process, impact and outcome indicators to assess the feasibility of the Program, how the Program is experienced by participants, whether changes have occurred and thus whether the aims have been achieved.
