MY GREEN GARDEN

The importance of encouraging our children in outdoor work with living plants is now recognized. It benefits the health, broadens the education. The great garden movement is sweeping over all the world, and our present problem is to direct it and make it most profitable to the children in our schools and homes.

• students learn focus and patience, cooperation, teamwork and social skills.

• they gain self-confidence and a sense of "capableness" along with new skills and knowledge in food growing.

• garden-based teaching addresses different learning styles and intelligences.

• students become more fit and healthy as they spend more time active in the outdoors and start choosing healthy foods over junk food

• the schoolyard is diversified and beautified.
