Across the globe, climate change is impacting the agricultural sector with increased intensity and frequency of droughts, heat waves, changes in rainfall patterns, and changes in growing seasons. Climate change adaptation is an increasingly significant need for agricultural producers, including those involved in local food systems. Community gardens serve as a source of fresh fruits and vegetables in areas that may otherwise lack access. Community gardens are public entities usually operated by schools, churches, local government, nonprofits, etc. Many community gardens give away or discount their produce to community members or those in need. This study used a mixed-methods approach to explore public engagement in community gardens and perceptions surrounding climate-smart adaptations. This research should be used to inform environmental communication and education strategies that encourage community gardens to adopt climate-smart practices to ensure the continual contributions to their local food supply.
