We propose to every teacher who engages in the educational garden project to build its own educational program that develops upstream and downstream of the garden.
This project is inspired in the practice of the garden by students
and in the largest place which hosts the garden (hill, the neighborhood ...).
This garden can be located in the school grounds, or in a community garden located outside the school.
We assist the teacher in the definition of his project.
We follow him sometimes, in class time, to develop his project.
Objectives
- This tool is used to enrich, in the spirit of the child and the teacher, ideas about the garden.
- It also introduces greater coherence between time and space of the school and the time and space of the garden and neighborhood.
- This also helps make connections (integrate) with other partners and other local projects. Well within the design (making text) of a comic book around the garden, a local association has been requested (association linked to learning to read).
- This finally allows to better organize the work of gardening itself.
