Learn how to start a school garden with this free resource from Alliance for a Healthier Generation. A major benefit of educational gardens is building higher-order thinking skills such as analysis and synthesis through experiential and project-based learning.
Students can use these skills to explore healthier habits such as growing and eating fresh produce, introducing a variety of new foods to their diets, promoting local and organic produce over chemical or additive-enhanced foods, and by maintaining an active and regular outdoor lifestyle, students canbecome strong advocates to promote what they learn to their families, friends, and community.
