Early Childhood Gardening

Hello ECE community!

I have created a free how-to for designing and implementing a preschool garden based on my personal experience in early childhood environments. This is my first attempt, and I would love your feedback or notes:

I want to help connect schools with gardening, but I know the challenges they will face along the way. I believe that my garden model address the challenges and helps answer the hundreds of questions that come up along the way.

My goal is to create a complete step-by-step that will work across all environments to eliminate the need for teachers to understand gardening, or to have garden experience, before confidently implementing one in a real school.

Please feel free to reach out and let me know what you think is missing, or could be improved. 

Best regards,

Mark

Mark,

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing resource with the community and the care you put into this! It is such a thorough resource for ECE educators. Would you be willing to share this in the growing together: open forum discussion board? I think that would help this post to get seen by more people in the community! 

Hope your garden season is going strongly! Thanks again, Kalie J
