school gardens nationwide14
When I started to research other programs, I was so surprised to see how many schools have their own school garden program...

sustainableschoolyardseattleGrowing a Healthy Future
17
Sustainable Schoolyard Seattle will enhance students’ awareness and appreciation of health, nutrition and community by teaching children to grow, prepare, share, and eat nourishing food.
This non profit will enhance student's local and regional environmental awareness. It will give them an understanding of responsible stewardship. What does that mean in this case? One example is to have SandPoint Elementary keep some of their natural resources on-site by harvesting rainwater to support native plantings and treating storm water runoff in rain gardens.

Nurturing Community
Community building - garden events

Service - donations to food banks and charitable food organizations

Sand Point ElementarySocial Responsibility, Global Perspective & Academic Excellence
...ThatÜs 4000 square feet of garden area!
24
Here is a diagram showing how a school garden program might work at SandPt Elem.- The program can affect many different areas of the school. - Children can learn about water run off on property and how to make a rain garden- The children learn to take care of garden supplies. They could even keep an inventory of supplies.- They put on their own garden gloves and learn the difference between right and left. - Children can learn about food preparation- After getting involved in the garden planting they will probably enjoy learning more about nutrition- The raised bed for Sandpt could be as large as 4000 sq feet of garden area.

Keep the water on-site.
Native Plantings

Rain gardens can demonstrate to the children and their parents the value of stewardship. Even in a city you can make a difference.So here is how a rain garden works...(Julie goes in to detail)

Raised beds
27
Here is an example of a raised bed. This is probably the most efficient way to set up and teach children about gardening.

but you could also do large container pots

School entrance, side yard or playground
Let the kids get their hands dirty!

The location of the garden is pretty flexible. It could be very visible at the school entrance or in a side yard or the play ground. Let the kids get their hands dirty and have fun.

gloves keep the hands clean

Here the kids are wearing gloves, which keeps their hands relatively clean
