Register for our coordinator newsletter about happenings in the gardens.

At Granny's Garden School, each classroom teacher has the support of a Garden Coordinator who is responsible for preparing for, leading and cleaning up after each lesson.  This section of the website contains resources we have developed to support them in making use of our school grounds as an educational tool.  It includes lessons we have developed as well as links to other useful websites. 

Our teachers place high value on teaching time; so do we.  Time spent in Granny's Garden School using our lesson guides is directly connected to curriculum standards in Ohio, and our seasonal schedules (Spring and Fall) are calendars that take into account the needs of our zone 6 gardens and the timing of classroom curriculum, and pair activities and lesson guides that are relevant to each of the K-4th grades we work with.    We are the land lab to the classroom across curriculum subjects.

We recognize that educators from across the country are using our lesson guides.  So, all of our guides are in Microsoft Word document format so they can be easily altered to meet the specific resources and needs of others who may use them.  We ask only that your recognize Granny's Garden School as the source.
