Texas A&M University created this site to help school students plant gardens and learn about how plants grow. There are ideas for what to plant, how to get started, and creative ways to design a garden that will keep students interested in the project.
In the Classroom
Use information from School Gardening to enhance or begin your school’s garden. If your school doesn’t have an area for planting a garden, be creative! Plant a small garden in a wagon to roll in and out each day! Create a class website and update your garden’s growth through pictures and words each week. Better yet, have student blog about the garden using Edublog, <a href="/single.cfm?id=13449">reviewed here</a>.
At Home
Use this very detailed and instructive site to help grow your own family or community garden. It includes information on what to grow, how to start, and what to consider when you design the layout of the crops you select.
