Hi All,

We are currently updating our DC school garden planting calendar and want to also expand it to include additional resources to help educators have more success with planting, growing, and caring for their plants. I’m curious what type of guidance folks offer to educators to assist them with knowing when to plant, what to plant, how to plant, and WHY to plant. I’m especially interested in the why- for example do you have resources that make connections between specific activities/ lessons and specific plants.

 

Maybe you have list like this?

Example Activities (WHY)

Tomatoes

Sweet Potatoes

Milkweed

Thanks!

Here is ours. We also have additional pages to add so that teachers can use these year after year and look back at previous years to see what worked and what didn’t.

Thanks for sharing these.  I'm going to create something similar for our school's gardens.
