School Gardens
Why School Gardens?
School gardens provide opportunities to connect children to the real world through the common denominator of food. The process of planting seeds in soil, in a garden outdoors or on a window sill, instills a feeling of accomplishment.
Gardening offers opportunities for students to take responsibility and to work with others as they build self-esteem. Watching the garden grow is a visible sign of their success. School gardens connect standards to real life and allow engagement in students to soar.
