Farms: School Garden

The school garden is a field of variable measures in which students sow, cultivate and collect vegetables and vegetables. The important thing is the dedication of students and teachers!

In addition to obtaining the fruits of the earth, the students will be involved in an activity of awareness and knowledge of agriculture, the process of supplying different materials and their transformation to the conversion into waste. All this will be reinforced by teachers who must instill values ​​such as responsible consumption of products and sustainability. Another positive aspect of the school gardens is that this activity will help to reinforce knowledge given in the classrooms, such as the composition of the soil, the rainy season or the process of obtaining food by the plants.

The necessary requirements for the construction of a school garden are to have a space of land or some type of container to grow food, buy or produce fertilizers and get a few tools to plant. The teachers to carry out the classroom projects on school gardens that do not have knowledge of agriculture, should look for a manual that indicates the sowing seasons, the necessary care for the plants and when to pick the vegetables or fruits. A good idea, not to exhaust the resources of the land is to alternate plants with few soil needs with others that require great care.

The costs of a school garden are low, although the educational benefits of children are considerable. So do not think about it anymore, if you are a teacher, propose to make a school garden in your school; If you are a parent, discuss it at the next meeting of the parent association. Children will have fun and learn a lot about nature!
