These gardening tools would allow my students to develop hands-on gardening strategies that will last a lifetime. While technology plays a huge part in our every day lives, using our hands to grow our own food will never go out of a style. The opportunity to work in a school garden gives high school students the mental break they need from pressures at home and school. When they are outside, they get ninety minutes of fresh air and an opportunity to create something beautiful the whole school can enjoy.
Developing and maintaining a school garden also gives students a sense of pride in their accomplishments. Students are able to see their work right before their eyes each day we walk outside to the garden. In previous years, students from other classes have also helped us in our school garden, which is an especially spectacular opportunity for camaraderie. With the recent hybrid schedule implemented at our high school, I'm brainstorming ways to ensure both virtual and hybrid students can enjoy our school garden or a similar hands-on opportunity!
