I would like to know more how the coaching goes with staff. What kind of questions did they have? What did they take away from their coaching sessions and how did they incorporate it into their lessons.

Working together and collaborating with others. Sharing success stories and not successful stories to learn new things and try new ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it inspiring that so many videos mentioned just how much the children truly LOVE to be outdoors.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe kids are so successful outdoors because of their nature curiosity and wonder about the world around them. But the adults definitely are a huge part of that - as they are the ones making the time and the space for these children to be outside and in the garden.

# data[].attributes.body
Taste is important!

It really solidifies learning and offers a sense of accomplishment for the kids.

# data[].attributes.body
I would just love to hear more stories about how garden-based education is incorporated in everyday life. And does any of it transfer to home?

What I found most inspiring was the way a lot of the stories reached out or had help from other organizations or individuals to help work on the projects

I would say knowing who to talk to or where to go to get things started. A few stories talked about starting bulbs before transferring them.

Reaching out and working with others. The programs are intended to show kids how to be successful in working together, the same can hold true for the adults involved as well.

Looking at the videos, I saw a teacher that is in my school district but works at the nature based Prek. I would love to reach out and connect with her and see how she is focusing her teaching on the outdoors. This excites me!

I found the different ideas implemented to make gardening possible including obtaining various types of funding, being creative with what is available, and working with the climate to be both inspiring and innovative.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that success is not about things being just right. They are about learning and growing. In these shared experiences even when the the plants did not grow as planned there was a process and outcomes that children and adults learned from.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the common themes I observed was taking the challenges in gardening as learning experiences and opportunities to make changes.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to know what the activities children prefer when exploring the garden and any changes they would make to meet these needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Finding teachers within the site who are passionate about or interested in gardening to help take lead and work with fellow colleagues to create an interactive shared garden. The adult collaboration will lead to the children following this example.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked hearing the challenges some people faced with introducing gardening to their program. Each person that shared a challenge, posed it as a learning experience. This makes me feel more confident in any future challenges I may face.

# data[].attributes.body
It seemed like a lot of people are in the beginning stages of introducing garden-based education and open to learning/ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to hear more about specific plants that were easy/most successful in relation to colder climates.

I found it really inspiring how many educators are finding as many resources as possible to explore this type of learning with their students. I think its great that there is a community of us that want to do this work and will find a way to make it happen.

# data[].attributes.body
Grants, tasting, planning learning opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
some conditions that led to success were grants, staff openness to gardening & perseverance., garden knowdledge.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it inspiring that so many places are giving gardening a try & being successful. I know children love being in gardens & outdoors. The knowledge that there are others wiling to help & share knowledge and bringing community partners together was also inspiring.

# data[].attributes.body
What inspired me is that teachers will do anything to make it happen for their kids. Filling out grants, reaching out to their community for assistance. Also, the challenges and wins that have happened while incorporating gardening in their programs.

# data[].attributes.body
An example of a condition that led to success is the climate, having adults/admin backing for the program, and the excitement from everyone involved.

# data[].attributes.body
Some common themes I observed are: thinking out of the box, working together, taste, support from admin/adults, reaching out for help.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to know if there are any favorite veggies or plants that have been a hit for the kids. Also, if there has been any pushback for starting gardening.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaborating with colleagues and others who have done this before and have a passion for this work! Don't be afraid to try things out.

# data[].attributes.body
What I found the most inspiring is the outdoor schools/classrooms that are outside SO much! Even in rain or snow and cold. It inspires me to be able to get outside more and tell parents to provide adequate clothes for the children to be able to be outside more often.

# data[].attributes.body
Grants are so helpful to everyone trying to succeed in gardening! Gardening can be expensive to set up so getting some assistance is definitely helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
Some common themes I observed are letting the kids play outside as much as possible, being new to gardening, grants, tasting, and support.

# data[].attributes.body
I would ask people about how they include families/caregivers of the children in your care or if they do at all.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that having support is very helpful for people to continue their gardens and be successful.

# data[].attributes.body
Many garden programs are made possible by grants and outside funding. A lot of programs don't have garden program funding of their own.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was refreshing and relatable to see / hear many fellow educators experiencing trial and error when it came to broadening their curriculum with a deeper focus on garden education. Sometimes there were successes, while other times there were hurdles or little to no growth in the gardens in which they tried growing. All of this is success to me, as this brings forth reflection, which is a major factor within our industry!

# data[].attributes.body
Dedication, patience, fluidity, and an understanding that all of the experiences we provide to the children are just that - for the children! They learn and grow, no matter the outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
Working with what you have and doing your best to create an outdoor/garden/nature oriented care program that allows children to grow, learn, and thrive.

I loved to hear all the people who take their kids outside as much s possible. I've always done this in my classroom but the other 2 classrooms in my school have been less likely to do this. So it's nice to know there are others out there like me!

# data[].attributes.body
I heard a lot about teachers just getting their children involved and engaged with nature and the natural world. Nature walks and trips are so exciting for kids!

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of schools seemed to use grants to get things going, which definitely helps. Getting the kids outside more is another common thing, which is fantastic!

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most important things to be successful is to find teachers, other staff and parents who are just as passionate as you are about nature, the outdoors and gardening.
