CREATING AND SUSTAINING YOUR SCHOOL GARDEN

The CSYSG Workshop is for individuals working to create or enhance a school garden program. This workshop introduces several topics that should be addressed when implementing an instructional garden, based on decades of input from teachers and other garden educators. These topics include planning and designing a school garden, basic gardening skills, curricular connections, and outdoor classroom management. Time will be dedicated to aligning garden design and lessons to match program goals, and to strategies for drawing support from the school and community to sustain the program.
