特点：花园的位置，孩子们日常外出活动都很靠近，每个班的孩子都可以去那里参观。

优点：孩子们花园里种食物，既可以学习，又有很强的参与感。

缺点：在选择种植食物时，可以先进行比较适合本地季节的，或是留出两个部分，一个部分种植适合在小花园里的食物，另一个部分种植的食物可能需要很厚的土壤才会长出食物的，这两个部分可以让孩子观察并对比，花园比较适合种植什么食物比较容易长出果实，而且又不会浪费种子和土地。

改进方法：可以尝试让每个班轮流进行观察以及浇水的任务，培养班级之间的合作意识以及孩子的责任感！

Our garden used to be organised but since it is not very well taken care of, with the rainy weather making it worse, it seems to be all over the place.

Strength: Our garden now has a variety of plants, a number of which can actually be used in dishes. This allows children to have an understanding and be more aware of where their food comes from.
Weakness: It is not well maintained especially after rainy days.

Improvements:
- Put up bricks around the plants as a form of barrier to prevent children from walking on it.
- It would be good to have a clearer pathway by maybe having stepping stones. Cildren can clearly see where they can walk around when engaging in planting activities.
- Children can be involved in maintaining the garden. We can have a gardening schedule for classes to take charge.

优点；我们的花园就在后门，位置很好

建议：

需要多一点松软的泥土，可能需要学校自己买来填补

规划区域给不同的班级

需要克服露天，看天的脸色影响植物的问题

Couldn't call them a garden anymore
Strength: we have a lot of seeds and plants to replant

Weakness: as I tried planting a lot of things in the garden, the soil underneath was actually not good enough to maintain the plants growth
Strategies for planting:

Classes to have schedule to take care: not a single person job.

Reuse the pots.

Should have a stacker for bugs prevention.

Try to do compost fertilizer .

离学校很近随时可以看见。
优点：可以让幼儿们观察随时观察到植物的生长情况。
缺点：幼儿没有真正的去照顾植物。
可以一个班种植一种植物，一起照顾自己班级的植物。

特点：干净，种类多

优点：温馨，娇小

缺点：空间小，路窄，有点杂

建议：可不可以有些种籽成长过程的照片或是标本展示？让孩子去看去猜去寻找？

可以有鹅卵石路去走走

Looks rather sparse now .

When we make it an intentional interest with that sense of ownership , we probably be surprised with the strength we have.

We can do it as a team . We can learn from the ones with more experience. experience .

We meed one another to make it better.

Each class , bay specified so that we know the area to work on .

Border/ boundary - safe area to walk when doing our (teachers and children ) contribution.

Each class plant something different so that we have variety for children to explore and learn.
