Is Science Alive Benefiting Your Child's Academic Experience?
“Learning comes alive in a school garden! All subjects can be taught in this dynamic hands-on environment. From reading to science, math to nutrition, it’s all possible. With bales of straw as chairs, clipboards as desks, and the garden as their classroom, students’ textbook lessons come to life as butterflies metamorphose, works decompose, plant growth is recorded, fresh corn is eaten, and sensory poetry is created. California Academic Content Standards are growing, too! Everything we know about good teaching is magnified in a school garden: student engagement, meaningful, relevant lessons, use of manipulative, cooperative learning, and exploration and discovery. There is no better environment than the garden in which to plant the seeds of knowledge, experience the joy of learning, and harvest a bountiful crop of lifelong learners.”--- Martha Deichler, former School Principal, Borrego Springs Elementary
