Scott County's community gardens are continuing to grow in popularity, with more and more residents taking advantage of their various health and social benefits. Much of this increase is due in part to Scott County Public Health and the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership, also referred to as SHIP. The SHIP health strategy helps Minnesota communities develop solutions to further promote healthier lifestyles. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, SHIP's work has impacted all of the state's 87 counties and 10 tribal nations through such initiatives as increasing access to healthy foods and making biking and walking a more accessible option in cities.
