We know there are many benefits associated with the act of gardening and Garden-Based Learning, and that:
Gardening promotes a healthy, active lifestyle, encouraging physical fitness and nutritional awareness.
Communities who work together, and young people who work collaboratively in a school garden gain social skills, and learn how to respect one another and work cooperatively.
Ongoing interaction with the soil and earth creates ecological awareness and encourages environmental stewardship.
In schools, garden-based learning provides meaningful activity and inquiry-based learning opportunities.
Lessons from the garden can be aligned with the curriculum standards, increasing student achievement and understanding.
