The Garden Storyline provides a sequence of learning engagements that engage learners in food-for-human / annual vegetable gardens in informal learning environments. The storyline was originally designed using a 5-day summer camp structure, however the learning engagements can be divided up to be used in a variety of formats.
The Garden Storyline uses the Garden Tasks as a way to introduce young gardeners to common garden tasks, and provides resources for educators to think critically about each garden task’s intellectual dignity, and the Doing, Knowing, and Being behind each task. Please visit the Garden Tasks page for these resources.
