You'll learn...
Teaching about ecosystems and the intricate relationships between all the living and non-living things in an ecosystem is a key topic throughout the curriculum in all grade levels and can sometimes be a tough concept to both teach and learn. The garden is an optimum tool for providing first-hand experiences about ecosystem relationships. By learning about the relationships on a smaller scale and local level, students can begin to grow their perspective beyond and understand how we are all connected.
