Do you support local schools to set up a garden? Or do you know agencies in the area that do? Our school is located in Germantown.
Answer
One way we support school gardens is via our Green City Teachers program.
Green City Teachers is an innovative training program that enables Philadelphia educators to start school gardens.
Teachers, individuals, parents, gardeners, and informal educators are invited to participate in the fall five-session course and 3-day summer course which offer a forum for sharing ideas and helps students appreciate the role of nature in their lives and ultimately introduce horticulture into school curricula, after-school programs, and service learning projects.
We also put out a number of subject guides on the topic of gardening with children.
Click on "Children and Schools" for the subject guides on gardening with children. Includes school gardens.
Hope this helps!
