Gardening for Kids
As part of the National Gardening Association (NGA) website, this section is the association's forum for teachers, teacher educators, and community partners interested in using plants and gardens to enrich learning. Teachers can get more information from NGA's GrowLab K-8 Science Program site, which provides a curriculum guide, a how to guide, information on teacher's resource videos, etc. They can also find out about the association's teacher workshops. One fun part of the site is its “Growing Ideas E-Mail Pals Growing Network.” Using this network, teachers and students can share their experiences, ideas, and questions with other classrooms involved in using gardens as teaching tools.
