School gardens are a great way to get kids involved in the outdoors and learning about nature from an early age.
Teach children to grow and they’ll develop a healthy attitude to food that will last a lifetime. School gardens demonstrate, hands-on, where good, nourishing fruit and vegetables come from.
In this short video we’ll show you how to start a school garden from scratch and discover new ways to get kids growing.

Your daughter's you mini-me!! Adorable! <3
Sweety!
Love it!
This video is adorable. Those are some lucky children to be learning early.
My son's school did this over the summer here. They asked for volunteer families to each take a week over the break so they knew who would be helping. They had rain barrels and everything fairly well labeled.
They asked that we would supply a list of anything that we harvested during our week. I could not believe the tomatoes and onions that we got. The basil and oregano were great as well. We also managed to get some japanese egg plant and some sweet banana peppers. All 3 of my kids helped out during our week and had a blast watering and helping us decide which tomatoes were ready.
Great Video!
She's a natural.
I think that this is one of the most important/beneficial things that we can ever do for the next generation.
Great idea.
Thank you !
Yes – to get the children "back to reality" is of highest value.
Because: "It takes a village to raise a child !"
Village WITH soil full of plants and animals.
It ´s where it all starts … … …
Your daughter is soooooo adorable. Love this idea involving children in gardening. My teenage daughter & niece enjoy harvest time in the garden and cooking/preparing the fresh picked produce.
мені дуже подобаеться ідея -привчати дітей до вирощування рослин в школах !
Great video. One of the more important experiences a kid can have at school.
I'm a science teacher at an inner-London secondary school with the aim of greening the school premises with edible vegetables. I'm thinking grow beds on the concrete-covered playground and guerilla-style gardening using plastic packaging containers from the supermarket.
I'd like to give each child a seedling at the beginning of the school year that they need to take care of. Is there something they can grow in September and harvest before winter? This would be great to get their interest in gardening.
At our little in-home preschool, we have several raised beds. The children start planting seeds indoors to give the seedlings a head start. Then, in spring, they plant them in the raised beds along with seeds for vegetables that like cool weather. In fall, we harvest produce and seeds for planting later on. They get to see the life cycle of the plant and they enjoy snacking on the vegetables from their very own garden.
I Have planted winter oats as a cover crop. It is one crop that dies in winter and and then provides a mulch as well as organic matter in the soil.
RIGHT ON!!! Gardening should be a regular school subject.
I use buckwheat for the bees and because it is a good smother crop before planting garlic. I use oats where I need more weed protection during those frosty days before the ground freezes as a smother drop and green manure. I plan to let the oat greens stay on top as a mulch, but we will see. Both of these cover crops have better coverage if I till them in after spreading the seed.
Absolutely darling child! And the video is instructive and interesting as always.
Hi. I am the gardening/cooking teacher at an outdoor preschool in California. With the recent Thomas Fire our children have all been inside for weeks. I have still been caring for the plants, but am curious if you have any suggestions for all of my produce. There is Broccoli, kale, chives, tomatoes, dill, lettuces of all kinds, zucchini, cilantro, arugula, strawberries, pepino dulce, varieties of beets and carrots. Plus an apple tree bursting with flowers.
Should I harvest all of the produce that’s ready without the children? Or should I let it go to seed and then give them the job of harvesting the seeds? We are on holiday until January 2. Thank you.
Your daughter is precious!
A great video, thank you.I have started a garden with our Scout group.
I am trying to convince my son's school that putting in fruit trees and a small garden would be good for the students. There is a program in America were you can have a charity come to the school and donate several fruit trees and they educate the students on the care of the trees. Even so, they still haven't considered it 🙁 But I'll continue growing my garden at home because I have seen first hand its effects on my son and his eating habits. They truly do want to eat it more when they are involved in the growing process.
I am the Kellar Kindergarten Garden Club organizer and Love It! I would love to know more about your garden planning tool. I am currently using the book Carrots Love Tomatoes to make sure that my plan for companions and best plant location soil etc. I loved that the tool gave all this information and could be easily shared with any volunteers I may receive.
Hi – Really liked your video….my son sent the last message in error. Sorry.
Good information. Great video
Just volunteered to plan my child's preschool garden. Great tips here!
