Edible Garden Classrooms

Gardens can be wonderful outdoor classrooms for children to learn where their food comes from, how to plant and grow fresh vegetables, and the pleasures of being outside.

Here in this video (courtesy of the Mother Nature Network) Farmer D visits Morningside Elementary School in Atlanta where students help him install an edible garden. Once the school garden is set up, it becomes an outdoor classroom for science, math, language arts, English, and other classes.

Mum’s and dad’s, get inspired, talk to the school principal and get this happening for your kids at their school!
