Increased scholarly and practitioner attention has been paid to community gardens and their potential impact on community building and sustainability, as well as a tool to combat the decline in physical and mental well-being connected to childhood obesity. Specifically, community gardens may play a role in on families' eating habits, and there is a need to investigate parents' perspectives of their children's involvement in a rural community garden and to explore the impact this has on children's and their families' healthy eating habits. This is a small-scale pilot study of children's involvement in a community garden. Using a qualitative design method, semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore parents' viewpoints of their children's eating habits prior to and after the children's involvement. The data gathered was coded and organised into emerging themes for interpretation. The study found indications that children's involvement in a community garden has a positive impact on children's social development, confidence and food awareness, along with a noticeable influence on the family's general healthy food consumption. While the findings suggest that involvement in a community garden has positive impact on children's eating habits, further research is needed with a higher number of participants for more accurate data.
