📚 About Living Labs: School Gardens
A school garden can be a Living Lab—whether it’s a single container with edible plants or a full-scale native plant and vegetable garden. Living Labs are dynamic spaces for learning, growing, and connecting.
Research shows garden-based learning can:
✔️ Boost academic performance
✔️ Improve social skills and behavior
✔️ Enhance healthy eating habits
✔️ Build confidence and self-esteem
Let’s grow something great—together! 🌻
