The SchoolGarden Kit (SGKs) program aims to support teachers, administrators,guardians, youth groups, after school programs, amongst others, in guidingstudents through a discovery process that will increase studentsunderstanding in science, math, and language arts by connecting them toplants, pollinators, food, and gardens by (potentially) creating habitat forpollinators. We say potentially because building a school habitat gardenrequires a real commitment. Planting the garden habitat is relatively easy,but making it grow, thrive, and survive several seasons is a commitmentand a challenge. The School Garden Kit helps expose students to newideas about food, wildlife, and plants. It should also help students choosebehaviors that support their own health, the health of the planet, and all itsplants and animals.”
