Growing in Small and Soilless Spaces So, you have more asphalt than soil in your schoolyard; students who, because of physical challenges, cannot easily access your outdoor garden; or simply little growing space. Consider what cool containers filled with vibrant colors, living lunches, or ethnic plantings can do for school entrances, classroom windows, or a corner of the community — not to mention, the curriculum.
Your students certainly wouldn't be the first to try their hands at confining garden plants. Historically, evidence abounds of plants perched in pots, but perhaps the most famous example is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, built by King Nebuchadnezzar II in the sixth century B.C. near modern-day Baghdad. These immense gardens were not actually hanging, but consisted of a daunting number of container gardens cascading from a terraced hillside. We're not suggesting anything nearly so elaborate. Here we share the essentials for growing in containers.

After all, these humble plants were early humans' first medicines, food preservatives, and cosmetics. And that's just the beginning. The word "herb" conjures up visions of soothing teas or the green flecks in spaghetti sauce, but just what is an herb? Plants of temperate climates whose leaves are harvested for use. These aromatic plants can be a fascinating focus for a growing classroom. Materials If you don't have an herb plot in your schoolyard, consider raising them in outdoor containers or windowboxes, or even in the classroom under lights or on windowsills.
