After the creation of the AMBA guide Community and Student Plant Tour Events, AMBA surveyed attendees of such events to get actual student feedback on what they liked most about the plant tours, what they liked least and what they wished they had seen during the tour itself. AMBA members provided survey results from nearly 200 participants, which are included in the final addendum.
