Garden-Based Learning

The Garden-Based Learning Curriculum was developed by Berkeley Unified School District, with a focus on connecting the school gardens to classroom lessons. The curriculum builds upon many years of educating students in the garden and scales up content and lessons for instructional scaffolding across grades. It is designed to be an interactive teaching tool, co-taught with classroom teachers and garden instructors as leads. Each lesson connects directly to standards: Next Generation Science, Common Core State, Physical Education, and Environmental and Health Education.
