| We have
grouped all of our teaching related information under the "Teaching
Resources" heading. It includes all of our detailed lesson plans,
our spring and fall gardening calendars (we have connected all of our
lessons with the needs of the garden as well as state standards and our
school's curriculum map), and our communications with teachers, staff
and volunteer garden coordinators regarding what the classes are doing
in the gardens each week.
We have not
copyrighted anything on this website. All of the material is there
for you to use. Of course, we would appreciate credit wherever it
is due.
Our gardens
are located in Southern Ohio, zone 6 where we work with 1,700 K- 4th
grade students. All of the information regarding planting
and harvesting times are based on this fact. Some of our gardens
are located in courtyards that are surrounded on 2-3 sides by the school
building. This creates mini temperate zones that allow us to
winter over plants that normally do not make it in zone 5. Another
thing that is a bit unusual about our location is that though the soil
on hills around us is clay, our gardens, located in an old river bottom
area, are not.
This website, like our gardens, are in a constant
stage of flux. Pages are uploaded as we go so you will see
evidence of old and new versions and as with this page, some that are
incomplete. |
