Synopsis

Outdoor Classrooms: A Handbook for School Gardens is ideal for teachers and home educators who want to incorporate education at all levels of the school curriculum with an emphasis on:

• setting up edible gardens
• teaching children about growing food
• food security and economics
• human and planetary health
• permaculture and sustainability.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, Outdoor Classrooms is presented as two streams of thought:

Carolyn takes us through the history of school gardens and articulates the need for a revival before leading us on an enticing journey of the imagination into the schoolyard and delight in the natural world.

Janet then offers a comprehensive and practical plan for developing “a successful, supported school garden that has the potential to benefit an entire community.”
