The Southern Ohio Schoolyard Nature Network, operating under the umbrella of Granny's Garden School, is offering a two-hour introductory workshop for educators considering establishing a school garden program.
The workshop, Introduction to Establishing a Plant Based Environmental Education Program on School Grounds, includes a tour of the school gardens in Loveland, an overview of how the gardens and educational components support each other and the nuts and bolts of establishing and maintaining a school garden. These are the first in a series of monthly workshops regarding various aspects of the establishing and operating a school garden program.
The purpose of the School Garden Network of Southern Ohio is to support the development and sustainability of hands-on learning experiences for children through plant based programs i.e.school gardens and other nature focused programs. The network supports the people who are developing the programs through how-to workshops and networking opportunities.
