Our school has a garden, but is is far from my classroom. When it is feasible, I take my students on a tour of the garden. We smell the rosemary and mint plants, we explore and look for anything that is ready to be harvested. They love the experience. They are always in wonder when they see a green tomato on the vine or get to pull a carrot out of the ground.
I would love for my students to have the opportunity to have their own little garden right outside our classroom door. I can incorporate science concepts of plant biology or writing skills by having students write about the garden and the importance of good nutrition.
