Want to change the world? Get creative. Don't settle for the same ol' same ol'. Because the opportunities to take an alternative approach to positive change are endless.
Take The Learning Gardens Laboratory in Portland, Oregon, for example, which creates an intersection for multiple paths of learning and growth for students.
The Learning Gardens Laboratory, across the street from Lane Middle School, is a vibrant project that is strengthening ties between a diverse group of students and their families and communities. While they are growing vegetables for Lane’s cafeteria salad bar in the spring, students are learning skills in math, writing, sustainable agriculture, garden construction and cooperation.
...“The goal of Learning Gardens is to teach PPS and PSU students to grow food that enhances sustainable and healthy food systems, through hands-on experiences of urban learning gardens--and in so doing, also promote multicultural competence and academic achievement,” Williams says.
