Wisconsin School Garden Day honors and celebrates educators, students, families, community leaders, and all people who have made garden-based education a reality and an asset in communities throughout the state! This year Governor Tony Evers will declare Thursday, May 15, 2025 to be the 7th annual Wisconsin School Garden Day. (Official 2025 Proclamation coming soon!) You can participate in Wisconsin School Garden Day by engaging in some type of garden-based education activity or celebration on May 15 (or another day that week). We encourage everyone to celebrate Wisconsin School Garden Day in a way that best fits their programs. Any activity that involves kids engaging with a garden or gardening–including, but not limited to, activities around planting, observing, art, literature, STEM, weeding, and planning–can be a way to celebrate Wisconsin School Garden Day.
