Gardening at school can be incorporated into curriculum. I've come across many websites that include gardening curriculum for various grades. Here's a list of the ones I've found...

I've also been reading a copy of greening school grounds, creating habitats for learning. This book is a fabulous resource of why there is an importance to school grounds greening and gardens and it also includes information on getting started. There are various curriculum ideas too. The book is edited by Tim Grant and Gail Littlejohn and is published by Green Teacher and is available on their website.If I come across any further curriculum ideas, I shall post them to this blog.
Another resource is the Foodshare website from Toronto.
