School Garden Workshop - Plant Your Spring Garden

  • MarleyEAV Community Garden 1205 Metropolitan Avenue Southeast Atlanta, GA, 30316 United States (map)

It's not too late to plant your school garden - Ground Up Collective can help you learn where to start.

This workshop is designed to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to successfully use their school garden this Spring. We will get hands-on practice with garden planning and design, soil health and compost, plant selection and care, and examples of garden-based education with students.

The goal of this training is to empower you to use the garden to engage students in hands-on learning activities that foster an appreciation for nature, promote healthy eating habits, and provide opportunities for interdisciplinary learning.

Together we will practice:

  • Activities that encourage students of all ages to learn and grow in the garden

  • Gardening basics that can be applied to your classroom & school garden

  • Outdoor classroom management strategies for working with students outdoors
