59: How I’m Teaching My Complete School Garden Method – From A to Z

Have you ever wished you could create your own school garden program, tailored to your classroom and teaching style? In this episode of School Gardens with Ease, I share the exciting news — I’m developing a full class that teaches my entire method for building educational school gardens from start to finish.

You’ll hear how your feedback shaped this decision, why this program is for classroom teachers (not just garden clubs), and what’s included — from garden design and logistics to summer maintenance. I also share why I avoid overly complicated systems like hydroponics and grow towers, and instead focus on simple, affordable, and effective approaches that work for any grade level, including high school.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How your feedback inspired a brand-new school garden course
• The three core elements every educational garden needs: design, logistics, and summer maintenance
• Why this class is ideal for teachers who work with the same group of students regularly
• Practical, low-cost alternatives to high-tech growing systems
• How to access my School Gardens with Almost No Summer Maintenance resources before the price goes up

Whether you teach elementary, middle, or high school, this episode will show you how to integrate hands-on gardening into your curriculum — without adding extra stress or expense.
