Broccoli Trials

Ever wondered why your neighbour's broccoli thrives while yours struggles? We are launching a community growing trial to find out what really works in our local area.

How it works:

  • 1We provide you with a broccoli seedling to nurture in your garden
  • 2Each week, you will receive a unique survey link via email with questions about your plant's progress
  • 3Upload a weekly photo so we can track growth patterns together
  • 4At the end of the trial, we will compile all the data into a community presentation showing what worked best

All your survey responses and photos will be stored securely and used to create a local growing guide based on real community experience.
