Jacqueline: I am a graduate student of Community & Regional Planning at the
University of New Mexico. I am interested in community/urban gardens, and
recently faced the same dilemma of how to work these interests into a
program of graduate study. You might consider Community & Regional
Planning, Urban Planning, etc. The University of New Mexico's Planning
program offers a community development focus, as well as a natural resource
focus, combinations of the two are strongly encouraged, and the program is
within the School of Architecture, which offers the opportunity to work, and
take classes in the Landscape Architecture program. Just some
suggestions...I know there are alot of similar programs out there, sorry I
don't have specifics.

Jacqueline: I an a faculty member at he University of Washington and
several years ago did an exensive study of Castia gardens, a type of
community garden based on traditional Puerto Rican Community gardens. I
continue to work with many gardens here in Seattle and have been coninuing
to study cultural expression through community gardening. There are many
others who have written on CG's but I don't know of a program focused on
them. Sam Bass Warner, a professor emeritis at Brandis U has authored
sevral articles and a book on community gardens.
There are also countless thesises done on various aspects of community
gardens
and Amanda Edwards at ACGA has been compiling most of the research to
date.
All the best Daniel
