Like it or not, school gardens are popping up across the country. The opportunity for children and young adults to grow their own food and learn math, science and social studies is a huge incentive for teachers and administrators. The physical activity is also a major plus. Beside the one well-written and poorly argued essay published recently in The Atlantic, everyone else is ecstatic about the food movement reaching the classroom and school community.

Now that the momentum is strong, the next best step is to distribute valuable resources. Many people have the dream of a school garden, be it an elementary school teacher or a college professor. With that in mind, I am happy to share an awesome article recently posted on Civil Eats, titled “School Gardens Across the Nation, and a Resource List for Starting Your Own.”

Suffice to say, this is an important article to read if these thoughts are on your mind. For those of you in need of this info, please read this and pass it along!
