Green Valley School Project
School gardens are not a new technique — they have been used in Europe since the 1800s. Great educational thinkers and philosophers such as Froebel, Montessori and Dewey encouraged the use of these spaces as a way to balance education and bring “hands, heart and mind” into everyday school life.
School gardens help education shift from a sedentary experience to one that changes students' perspective of what surrounds them. Our proposal is to use school gardens as living classrooms where learned concepts can be demonstrated. It's time to return to basics — to nature and outdoor activities — to get to know our environment and use our five senses, to help students shift their mindset and create the opportunity to be more receptive when learning.
