- Garden StorylineThe 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.
- Garden TasksThere are many routine tasks in the garden, some that need to happen daily! This storyline names 8 core practices: gardening planning, planting, soil health, watering, supporting balance between species, plant growth and development, gathering and harvesting, and seed saving.
