Garden
Benefits: Plant-based education has incredible potential to enhance the academic curriculum and classroom learning culture. Our school garden requires a child’s intellectual, emotional and social engagement with things that must be measured, counted, weighed, arranged, planned and cared for. It fosters student’s curiosity by providing a natural context for hands-on investigations. It provides a multi-sensory environment that supports a diverse range of learning styles and abilities. Most of all it yields gratifying and often surprising results for our students.
Come and check out the garden, hopefully you will pick a time when students are out there and you can see for yourselves the excitement and enthusiasm that abounds in the garden! It’s pretty amazing.
