Outdoor Classrooms: A Handbook for School Gardens is ideal for teachers and home educators who want to incorporate education at all levels of the school curriculum with an emphasis on:





setting up edible gardens
teaching children about growing food
food security and economics
human and planetary health
permaculture and sustainability.


Beautifully illustrated throughout, Outdoor Classrooms is presented as two streams of thought:



Carolyn takes us through the history of school gardens and articulates the need for a revival before leading us on an enticing journey of the imagination into the schoolyard and delight in the natural world.



Janet then offers a comprehensive and practical plan for developing "a successful, supported school garden that has the potential to benefit an entire community."
