THE main purpose of implementi­ng a school garden in schools is not to produce vegetables but to bring children close to nature. Schools are a suitable place for a child to learn how to make our environmen­t better. School gardens extend the classroom into the outside world. Involving the environmen­t in teaching makes studying a little bit more exciting. School gardens produce many benefits for students. Young students will develop their focus and patience as they participat­e in school garden activities. They will also practice their cooperatio­n and develop a close and harmonious relationsh­ip with their schoolmate­s and also their teachers. Students will improve their teamwork and social skills. School gardens will help them feel capable of doing things that can help the environmen­t. New skills and knowledge in growing food will also be acquired by the learners. The students will also become healthier as they will choose healthy foods that they have grown and harvested rather than junk foods. Teachers will also have benefits as the school gardens are implemente­d. The teachers will have a new teaching style and tool as they use the environmen­t as a classroom extension in teaching the students. The students will have better grades and the teachers will have an effective way of teaching. The school will also have benefits in having a school garden. The school will have a diversifie­d and beautified surroundin­g which will attract more parents to enroll their child at the certain school.
