About The Garden Classroom

The Garden Classroom is an independent guide for teachers, parents and volunteers who want to grow food with children. We write practical guides on starting a school garden, teaching lessons outdoors, making compost, growing in the city and turning a harvest into something kids want to eat.

Our starting point is simple: a few raised beds can teach more science, patience and curiosity than many worksheets, and children who grow vegetables are far more likely to taste them.

What we do not do

We do not run gardens, sell supplies or take payment to feature products or programs. Our guides are general; local rules on school grounds, water use and food safety vary, so always check with your school and city.

About this domain

This address once belonged to a school farm project in Brooklyn, New York. The Garden Classroom is a new and independent website. It is not affiliated with that project, the school or the people behind it, and it does not speak for them.
