A school garden in one term
- 1Pick the smallest viable spaceFour grow bags by a wall beats a plan for a plot nobody waters in the holidays.
- 2Choose two forgiving plantsPalak and methi germinate in days and survive a class of thirty. Save the tomato for term two.
- 3Give one child one plantShared plants get forgotten. Named plants get watered.
- 4Build the observation habitOne sheet a week: draw, measure, date. This is the part that becomes science.
- 5Harvest and cook somethingThe term has to end in eating. That is what makes them come back.
What maps to the curriculum
🌱
Life cyclesSowing to seed in one term with methi or palak — the whole cycle observed, not read about.🐛
DecompositionA worm bin turns peel into soil in six weeks, in a bucket, in a corridor.🐝
PollinationTally which insects visit which flower, at what time of day. Real data, collected by children.💧
Water and soilDrainage, mulching and evaporation, tested by changing one variable at a time.📏
Measurement & graphingHeight each week becomes a line graph that means something to the person who drew it.🗺️
Local knowledgeAsk families what they grow and what they call it. The class builds a record of its own neighbourhood.
