School gardens provide hands-on learning opportunities that enhance understanding of science, nutrition, and environmental stewardship. They encourage responsibility, teamwork, and patience as students care for plants and observe growth over time. Gardening also promotes healthy eating habits by connecting children with fresh fruits and vegetables that they’ve helped grow. Spending time in garden spaces can reduce stress and improve mental well-being, creating a calming and inclusive space for all learners. Overall, school gardens foster a deeper connection to nature and empower students to make healthier, more sustainable choices. We’re looking forward to a productive year in the garden with all our students – watch this space.
