  • 1.  Gardens offer real-life contexts for science and environmental teaching from preschool through higher education

    This study was conducted in Spain with students representing four different educational levels: preschool, primary, secondary, and university. Students' drawings completed before and after participating in a gardening program showed that the concept of what "a garden" is evolved and diversified for students at all four stages of education. Findings also suggest that educational gardens can promote awareness of sustainable agricultural practices.
