There are several reasons that this project was started—they are listed below and I hope that you will add to that list other reasons that your community and school are participating.
-
Research shows that students who garden are more interested in school and make better grades.
-
PACERS believes that science is best learned by students doing the work of scientists which includes our aquaculture, solar, and gardening programs. There is a lot of science and math to be learned from gardening—that is why we are emphasizing the lesson plans.
-
Community/school gardens are proven to make stronger connections between schools and communities and can serve as a means for enhancing community life and well-being.
-
Community gardens can help meet local food needs and can become the basis for entrepreneurship as well.
