Legacy Gardens: Creating Student Investment from Year to Year

Legacy Gardens are an idea featured on one school garden’s website: each spring, classes design and plant a themed garden. The class leaves behind a planting plan, map, photos, books, and recipes. In the fall, a new class “inherits” the garden plan and bed. Past legacy gardens include: Roots Garden, Early Spring Garden, Salsa Garden, Asian Garden, Peter Rabbit Garden, etc. – detailed descriptions are available. Neat way to maintain garden beds and connect classes from year to year! View Resource »
