Workshops in School Gardening

Dream…Create…Enjoy

Workshops for the Establishment, Maintenance and Curricular Application of a School Garden

Cleveland has a long history of nurturing and educating students through gardens on school grounds.  Their existence comes and goes often due to the age-old challenges of resources, both time and money.  However, school gardens provide a valuable platform for educating all abilities by engaging the students in hands-on, inquiry based education and connecting students with nature.

Cleveland Botanical Garden offers a series of workshops designed to make the addition of a school garden to your community both enjoyable and educational.  The workshops can be taken as a series or taken individually, depending on the particular needs of your school or schools.  Each workshop can – and should – involve a wide cross-section of your school community, from administration to faculty to staff to parents.
