School Garden Resources. Welcome to KidsGardening! Garden Resources, Gardening for Famili. School gardening resources: Journey to Forever. City Farmer: School Gardens. Requests for information about school gardening, come in almost as often as those for community gardening.
Lucky for the callers, there are many books, organizations and even conferences that address these questions. When we began City Farmer, we looked covetously at barren boulder dust and asphalt school yards and envisioned food gardens as learning centres. Obviously we weren't alone in these dreams. Now children's gardens can be found in schools all over the world both outdoors and in the classroom under 'growing' lights. We took part in the development of one such school garden at Lord Roberts Elementary School in Vancouver in 1986 and from that experience published a 16 page booklet titled School Garden Guidelines - How to Teach Children about Nutrition and the Environment ($6.00 from City Farmer)
