Growing School Gardens is a free professional learning community where educators, gardeners, parents, and community volunteers can come together to share information and resources on how to start and maintain a school garden, and integrate it into the curriculum, the life of a school, and the local community.
School gardens are a growing initiative to help children understand where their food comes from and how their food choices impact their bodies, the environment, and their communities at large.
A school garden can have an impact on the entire life and educational program of school and the surrounding community. Gardening activities can be incorporated into nearly every curriculum subject to enhance the appreciation of the natural world, and to provide hands-on learning activities for students.
The community hosts free edWebinars with leaders in the field that are highly engaging and interactive. Online discussions provide an easy way to continue the conversation and share ideas and experiences with peers across the country, and around the world.
As a member of the community, you get many FREE benefits:
