Was the garden a success?

4/19/2021

Colleagues,

Spring is here, and I’m thinking about all of the things I want to do in my garden. It is really tempting to just start planting things, but before I begin this season, I need to reflect on last season. This process of reflection is a form of evaluation.
 
In its simplest form, evaluation is determining if things went the way you had planned.
 
In order to evaluate, we need two things:
  1. Criteria to decide how things went
  2. Data (information) to determine if we met the criteria
 
When I’m thinking about last year’s garden, and whether or not it was a success, I need to first identify the criteria for success. What did I want from my garden?
  1. Spending time outdoors?
  2. Eating my own food?
  3. Saving money?
  4. Therapy?
 
Understanding my own expectations allows me to identify what data I need.
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
