In this groundbreaking resource, school garden pioneers Arden Bucklin-Sporer and Rachel Kathleen Pringle offer parents, teachers, and school administrators everything they need to know to build school gardens and to develop the programs that support them.
It's all here: developing the concept, planning, fund-raising, organizing, designing the space, preparing the site, working with parents and schools, teaching in the garden, planting, harvesting, and even cooking, with kid-friendly recipes and year-round activities. Packed with strategies, to-do lists, sample letters, detailed lesson plans, and tricks of the trade from decades of experience developing school garden programs for grades K–8, this hands-on approach will make school garden projects accessible, inexpensive, and sustainable.
