The goal of Garden of Learning is to create school gardens as outdoor classrooms for every child on campus.	Garden of Learning is a system and curriculum for starting and sustaining elementary school garden programs.	Children are led in small groups to the garden every week, where they raise crops while learning lessons in science, math, reading and language arts, fine arts, nutrition, social studies, environmental studies and agriculture.


Garden of Learning was designed to sustain the school garden program and not burden teachers with extra work.	The program makes extensive use of volunteer garden parents. It is perfect for schools that want to build lasting gardens with limited funds.	The system is designed to be extremely flexible for schools and easy for teachers.
