Whether that was starting composting or getting comfortable picking up bugs or tasting a new vegetable that tastes like “candy” each story was about the success with, for and by the kids. It’s so inspiring to hear how happy and excited the students were being involved in the garden and how the students learning was the success. Thanks for sharing these inspiring stories! </div>]]></description>

         <title>Remember that the school garden is a kids&#39; garden, not a smaller version of an adult garden. The garden should look like students work there, learn there, explore there and it needs to be kid friendly. Everything doesn&#39;t have to be perfectly straight. The garden can be fun!</title>

         <title>It was inspiring to hear about many examples of how much a part of the school culture and curriculum, from K-12, involves cross-curricular, garden-based learning, nutrition and food education and opportunity to learn in outdoor settings.  I am impressed at the degree to which schools and farms are investing in staff and space to provide these learning experiences for students.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Its hard to choose, since there were so many of them. I loved the garden education that included composting on sight. There were crowdfunding campaigns to introduce solar curriculum by installing solar panels near the garden with projects based on teaching about energy usage and photosynthesis by plants. There were many instances of community resilience being shown by growing food in community based gardens. I think what I found most inspiring is that even in the midst of a terrible Covid year, where people couldn't get together that gardens thrived, and the dissemination of online learning and gardening exploded. There was one garden educator that commented with a 200% increase in interest from the previous year. You have to keep this momentum going and keep growing despite the challenges. <br>Lynne Proskow<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Specific examples/conditions that led to success</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think that starting something from wherever you are is key. There were examples of people starting out small, and schools that have huge resources, and folks in the middle. Gardens can be grown in the classroom, lessons like Bean in a bag, to starting seeds indoors for kids to bring home plants for holidays. I love the stories of kids taking home veggies they planted themselves and sharing that excitement with parents and siblings.<br>I think having dedicated committed people who are unwilling to let obstacles stop them from growing and sharing that knowledge is key to any successful program, since there will always be obstacles. Getting the kids involved in the garden, (not just the teachers) is another sure way to get them excited about learning in nature. That excitement is contagious and builds upon itself. Some specific examples, worm bins that kids create, decorate and maintain, and use the worm castings in the garden areas. Compost bins that kids collect and add their lunch scraps to , water, and turn over occasionally to learn how to make productive soil teaches them numerous processes. Sending activity kits home during Covid so they can work on projects while they are staying at home doing on-line classes. Uploading videos on YouTube so they can follow along with lessons/ learning and having guidance from garden educators is invaluable during this Covid crisis. However the learning is shared, just like in this course, we are learning, it is so important and vital to so many, especially our children who will inherit this earth. They need to understand how to value and protect it. That is what we should all be teaching, in whatever way we can.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The <strong><mark>passion</mark></strong> many educators exuded was great. The <strong><mark>excitement</mark></strong> children felt engaging with the gardens is palpable. The <strong><mark>learning</mark></strong><strong> </strong>that is going on in the gardens, among the children and teachers and community involved is amazing! The <strong><mark>resilience </mark></strong>that was shown to get this out to as many children as possible during Covid and despite setbacks is wonderful. <br>Lynne Proskow</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I wish I had the time to read all of these inspirational stories because I am sure there is so much good info here. For me the most relevant, was just getting out there and sharing where and when you can. Since I am not currently associated with a school garden program, and hope to be one day, all of it is relavant, and I am learning from each and every one of you, so Big Thanks to all involved in this program who are willing to share. I loved the inspiration of making videos to share with online learners</div>]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/SuccessStories/wish/1338982096</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>I loved the example of starting a successful community garden in a vacant lot. This is so inspiring, because it takes the land that is not being used, along with the support of the local fish restaurant for scraps to make compost, to create a community project that is still successful in 2021. If our school district does not approve expanding our garden to our campus, our garden team will be looking to find a lot nearby where we can begin this garden work. It is on our 5+ year plan!<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>I really like the stories of change and/or growth in their school gardens. Everything from expanding the program to adding more physical items ( i.e. Ben A. outdoor seating). That makes me so happy that there is not only and a program, a need, but growth. </title>

         <title>I found that all of those that I listened to all had the same common theme of the excitement of seeing the garden through the children&#39;s eyes and the genuine excitement of sharing that experience came through in the videos. Also, that the older children took on the role of mentor with the younger children and were able to convey the knowledge they had to the younger children in a way that excited the younger children and inspired them to also enjoy the garden. </title>

         <title>Jeanne with WECA talked about trying to figure out where to put a garden in a teeny tiny outside space. To then utilize the fence area. Which cut down on maintenance, created a vertical garden, and the parents and community members then enjoyed the vegetables that grew. I am trying to convince my husband that we should do that by our fence so he doesn&#39;t have to weedwhack, I will try again!</title>

         <title>I feel like the greatest success is just getting out there and doing it! Of course having grants and a place to garden are also helpful.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I loved the example given of a solution to students picking up pea rocks in the garden space and throwing them. The program leaders noticed the undesirable behavior and recognized that kids wanted to use their sense of touch. Instead of combatting this with more rules of 'no touching', they created an activity to paint rocks and put them in their own rock garden space. Then, when leaders noticed kids picking up the pea rocks, they were able to remind them that they can go to the rock garden and touch those rocks instead. I thought this was a respectful way to allow kids to continue to celebrate the use of their senses. </div>]]></description>

From this course, I'm thinking the latter, which is different than originally planned.</div>]]></description>

One person had an idea and then went with it, but we didn't really have an overall plan or necessarily get the people or use the resources that we could have used. After taking this class and starting the slow food garden to cafeteria class, I'm ready to go back to the drawing board and get working with other people to really make this garden a garden classroom. </div>]]></description>
