What is a Learning Garden?

A learning garden serves as an outdoor classroom for kids to learn about the interconnected world around them in a hands-on, experiential way.  Farms and gardens offer children (and adults too!) valuable lessons about nature, nutrition, ecology, responsibility, teamwork, delayed-gratification, stewardship, friendship, sharing, and much more.

Learning landscapes are a place where experiential learning blossoms and place-based education takes root.  What is experiential education rooted in place?  Here is a sampling:
  •  When a child learns from doing rather than from a page. 
  • When a student begins noticing the cycle of the sun and moon, the texture of the soil, the food-culture of their community, the story behind an heirloom seed. 
  • Planting a seed and watching it grow.
  • Building a worm bin and watching their food scraps decompose into compost.
  • Counting the days on a calendar until their seeds sprout.
