Why plant a school garden? School gardens have entered the national spotlight as an effective way to promote life-long healthy eating habits and connect students to the natural world. Gardening provides educators with opportunities to enhance student education through practical, reality-based learning. Goals of school garden programs often include:

Providing opportunities for hands-on learning, inquiry, observation and experimentation across the curriculum.
Although science and nutrition are the focus of many garden programs, curriculum ties can also be made to the subjects of language arts, math, science, social studies and art. Additionally, the garden is an excellent location to model sustainable practices and present environmental education lessons.

Motivating kids to eat and love fruits and vegetables.
Gardens help get students excited about fruits and vegetables and provide countless opportunities to experience and try the foods that are often the hardest to get kids to eat.

Promoting physical activity and quality outdoor experiences.
Many schools are searching for opportunities and space to offer movement to students. Gardening offers students ample opportunities to walk, lift, carry, dig, plant, and rake, as well as practice balance and dexterity, all while participating in an enjoyable and engaging activity

Supplying local produce to the students.
The nation-wide growth of Farm to School programs and increasing USDA support of local and regional food systems have made serving local, sustainable produce in school meals a reality. Although school garden produce may not account for a large portion of the produce served in the café, there may be enough of a harvest to hold sampling events.

Educators and researchers have noted many benefits to students participating in school garden programs including:

Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables

Improvement in attitudes towards fruits and vegetables

Improvement in science achievement scores

Improvement in social skills and behaviors

Improvement in environmental attitudes and instillation of respect for nature

Positive impact on student achievement and behavior

The school garden offers a place to enrich teaching efforts with powerful hands-on experiences that make learning come alive. Each school or youth garden is as unique as the school or community that plants it. Gardens may come in many configurations, ranging from a collection of container gardens or a grouping of raised beds to a half-acre of plowed land. Garden programs can also be conducted using indoor light gardens or greenhouse plantings to accommodate the challenge weather poses in many areas during the school year. Successful garden programs do have certain features in common, however - they are designed to meet local program needs, to be sustainable, and to use the physical site and available resources to their fullest.

Although the physical appearance of school gardens varies greatly, there are a few common steps all garden leaders must take to create a successful and sustainable program. Developing a school garden program comes down to planning and building in three main areas: people, place, and plant care. The basic steps to building a successful school garden program include:

Taking goals and potential benefits into account, it is easy to see why interest is high in installing school gardens and implementing gardening programs to serve as teaching tools. These articles on our website will introduce you to all the steps necessary for launching and sustaining a successful school garden program. We hope it will empower you to begin your journey and excite you about the possibilities.
Although following through on each of these steps may seem cumbersome, taking time to properly plan leads to a stronger program. Planning is the systematic process of working through each of these areas to develop a strategy for making your own school garden program function successfully.

Defining the functional goals of your garden is simply stating what you want to teach, but within the garden setting instead of the classroom. School gardens are not just places for plant science and ecology; they are places for art, music, math and creative writing. In the garden you can teach about sharing and teamwork, as well as the interconnected web of life.

Keep in mind that it is best to plan big, but start small. A large project can exhaust the enthusiasm of your students and volunteers. Let them get excited about the success of a bountiful, enjoyable, but small garden; then expand as your confidence and experience increases.

Name : Arslan Sher

Location : Pakistan

School : Government Primary School Khawajgan Mansehra

Experience : School Gardening

# data[].attributes.body
Students of Government Primary School Khawajgan Mansehra Pakistan conducted an awareness drive in favor of saving climate.

# data[].attributes.body
For the motivation and memory of students prepare a climate saving wall where students paste their thoughts to save climate whenever they want.

# data[].attributes.body
When we will ask students to bring a plastic bottle with a plant in it with their name pasted on it. It will make plantation interactive and students will take more interest in caring their plants as their names are written on it. Students are then more possessive for their plants.

# data[].attributes.body
Planting in plastic bottles is easy, low cost and feasible everywhere. It is easy to take care of them late.

# data[].attributes.body
Arranged workshops for teachers and students with in the community. And at the end tasks are given to plant and spread awareness which is later reported to Climate Champion.

# data[].attributes.body
THREE THINGS WE LEARNT

1- Team Work ; A Key To Success

2- Students at Primary Level Can Work Best For Any Cause; They Just Need Awareness and Grooming

3- Taking Action for Climate is not Difficult but it needs Commitment

Interesting Facts

1- Students give us novel ideas when we put them in a specific condition.

2- Learning Together is Always Beneficial but it is great fun too.

One Question I still Have

I desire to provide better environment to coming generation;

Is It Possible?

How can it be achieved?

# data[].attributes.body
Let's Save it For Ourselves

Be the Volunteers instead of waiting for others.

Plant as it helps us breathe.

Convert to Solar Energy and Kill dangerous smoke.

Make it better place for coming generation.

Let's Grow Healthier and Prosperous.
