During "From the Garden to the Classroom," you will discover innovative ways to integrate gardening into their curriculum, enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes. This workshop focuses on the educational benefits of hands-on gardening experiences, including lesson demonstrations.

Join us to cultivate not only plants but also a deeper connection to nature and holistic education in your classroom!
