before you dig: planning your school & community garden
curious about what a garden could do for your school or community organization and unsure where to begin? contact NatureTalks before you dig
Connecting people with nature yields a rich potpourri of benefits. Learn how to plan a project geared to the unique needs of your school, church, or community center.
In a school garden, students gain an appreciation and understanding of nature and improve social skills like team building. Studies in nutrition, social studies, history, and sciences are easily accomplished in a garden setting. This presentation is geared for administrators, teachers, and parents who want to expand the in-class curriculum to include the surrounding campus. A school garden can be as small as a few containers or as large as the entire grounds. Workshop participants receive a signed limited edition copy of Growing an Educational Garden at Your School: A Study of the Hawaii Experience—while supplies last.
