School gardens and gardening labs are excellent hands-on learning activities for elementary students. This workshop will provide teachers with the opportunity to complete labs that they can then take back to their classroom. Content will cover basic garden care, planning, planting, and functions of plant parts as well as nutritional value of those parts. Participants will identify plant parts by a taste test and will come away with a cool gardening tool for help in growing their own garden. Workshop Session (all workshops will be one hour) | |
