6 Why garden during the school day? It builds connections and community It encourages patience, observation, and a sense of wonder It s fun and builds self esteem It increases willingness to eat fruits and vegetables It supports STEAM (including NGSS) We want to raise critical thinkers and compassionate human beings It positively impacts the lives of all children and families (CA PTA mission) Shocking Fact: Americans spend 93% of time indoors
7 Garden education is multi disciplinary
8 Gardens are used to teach all core subjects Subjects Taught in School Garden Lessons Math 67% ELA 75% History/Social Studies 56% Science 97%
9 Teachers see the potential 84% of classroom teachers exposed to school gardens think gardens help students learn more effectively (Skelly and Bradley 2000)
10 The kids say it all
11 So use your garden intensively for all students Find a curriculum that supports your goals Consider a garden educator Make a plan for garden management Make a master lesson schedule Look for ongoing funding sources Plan a groundbreaking/work party and dig in!
12 Find a curriculum that supports your goals Explore the many free or inexpensive curriculum resources available online: The Edible Schoolyard Project Collective School Garden Network Mystery Science Acorn Naturalists Life Lab Work with teachers at each grade level to meet their learning objectives Determine how many garden lessons each class will have during the year (we aim for once a month, 8 total)
13 Consider hiring a garden educator Educators bring a curated curriculum, lesson supplies, garden knowledge, and teach/facilitate all garden lessons Educators can perform garden maintenance and routine trouble shooting Educators can manage soil health and the master planting calendar
14 A sample of our curriculum Fifth grade: Cultivating a colonial dooryard garden Planting herbs and journaling Exploring medicinal uses of herbs (apothecary kits) Making tea and lavender sachets Using plant dyes Making corn husk dolls
15 Make a plan for garden management Soil Health Testing Amending Watering schedule Seeds vs. seedlings Pest management Community workdays Summer maintenance
16 Make a master lesson schedule Consult bell schedule and school/district master calendar Plan for 1 hour lessons with a short break in between to reset Determine lesson frequency (weekly, once a month) Consider teaching one grade level per day Invite parent volunteers, interns, or local master gardeners to support lesson delivery
