School gardens have many benefits for students and for schools. For example, the vegetables and fruit grown in a school garden can be served in the school cafeteria or can go home to the family table. This food from the gardens is delicious and easy to grow. Kids get to spend time in the outdoors, which is very healthy for them. There is even a strong tie between student gardens and the classrooms. Students learn about the growth cycle in science, and then see it in action in their garden. They need to take careful measurements and keep clear records and this allows them to apply their math skills. Working together in a garden also encourages students to develop their social skills. So talk to your school about starting a garden. You'll be glad you did!
