Is it solely a horticultural effort or is the garden really tied to the school curriculum? Ensure that you are getting the most of the garden. A well thought-out garden plan can be used to teach history, geography, math and English. Planting a plot of Cherokee Trail of Tears beans can be a segue to history and geography. Creating a Sarah, Plain and Tall garden is a refreshing way to teach literature. Use your imagination and creative thinking to make the most out of your garden space.
