LESSONS FROM THE GARDEN … Common Ground Garden in Palo Alto has created a middle-school garden curriculum, “Edible Education.” The lesson plans aim to introduce children to the principles of sustainable farming methods while engaging them in science lessons. The curriculum takes students through a variety of garden activities, including planting, soil cultivation, digging, composting, harvesting, and investigating material decomposition. The garden lesson plans can be accessed online at http://bit.ly/GB6thGradeCurriculum.
