Happening In the Gardens
Back to Class

As students return to school this month, we're excited to introduce new a learning curriculum in the garden programs. This curriculum is tied to the State of Hawaii Department of Education learning standards, and contains newly revised and expanded lesson plans. Each lesson includes a learning focus, a variety of lesson activities, and specific learner outcomes. Our goal with the new curriculum is to improve educational impact, increase consistency across all of our garden programs, and ensure the gardens are inspiring (and fun!) for students. We look forward to sharing these lessons in our eNewsletter in future editions.
