In this episode of School Gardens with Ease, Leila Mireskandari shares a fresh new idea that came to her—literally—as she woke up: Should she create a School Gardens with Ease course designed for high school teachers?

Up until now, Leila has worked primarily with elementary and middle school teachers, building low-maintenance, student-led school gardens that connect seamlessly with the curriculum. But a recent experience watching her daughter’s high school science teacher attempt (and struggle) to grow food with her class got her thinking...

Could high school teachers benefit from learning Leila’s school garden method too—even if gardening isn’t a full credit course?

Leila shares her personal story of how her children and her Permaculture journey inspired her work, how her Oasis programs became a trusted resource for K–8 classrooms, and why she’s now seriously considering building a course that teaches any interested teacher how to design, implement, and integrate a successful classroom garden—yes, even in high school.

Now she wants your feedback.
 Would you like to see a program like this? Would it help you or someone you know?
