Citizen Science Project Underway
An exciting partnership is underway between the University of Washington, P-Patch Program and volunteer gardeners. A group of scientists at the University of Washington is with P-Patch gardeners in Seattle’s P-Patches. Citizen science involves volunteers in research activities. Results of the research projects are directly beneficial to citizens, who also gain hands-on scientific research experience. Scientists benefit because they receive help collecting data to complete projects that otherwise would not be possible, not unlike the mutually beneficial relationship between plants and pollinators!
