Sorry hit submit before I meant too. We have a small gazebo set up with garden boxes on each end. Mums are planted in the fall and pansies in the spring/summer. In the winter when it’s not filled with snow we fill it with left over pumpkins and sometimes straw. I would love to try to incorporate a little vegetable or fruit garden in that spot, my goal would be plant in the spring and hopefully something would sprout before the end of the year.
Sounds lovely!
I love how simple you make this, no need to go out and purchase special garden stuff.
Yes..that’s the name of the game! Outdoor Classrooms on a shoe-string budget.
Currently I do not have an outdoor classroom space, but my hope is to have one soon! During our video chat, I shared some ideas of how I could work in the outdoor space at my own school. Since then, I’ve started to make a shift! My husband and I are expecting our first baby in April, and my goal is to move my teaching practice from public to private while our baby is very young! My thinking is that I would start an outdoor classroom in my own backyard that I could use with students that I privately tutor. I would like to do at least 2 raised garden spaces. One would primarily consist of vegetables, and the other is unknown at this time! We have a large yard with lots of opportunity, so I am hoping to spend the rest of fall and winter planning out these gardens!
Wonderful!!! How exciting to have made this shift. This is the perfect time to be planning and thinking of all the possibilities.
HI Our outdoor classroom is our greenhouse we enjoy classroom time outside planting seeds counting them as we plant then nurturing our garden with water and sunshine and watching the plants grow . Then measuring the plants as they grow. Then of course enjoying the end product of flowers or tomatoes, kale, chives ,cucumbers, etc at the end. the kids love this process and are all excited to see whats inside the outdoor classroom today !
Welcome Katy! I am thrilled you are here. So cool to have a greenhouse. Your description of your garden sounds like a page from the “Planting a Rainbow” children’s book. Looking forward to learning more about your outdoor learning spaces.
OUR GARDEN SPACE IS A 5X5 RAISED GARDEN RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR OF OUR OUTDOOR SPACE. THIS PAST SPRING/SUMMER/FALL WE HAD LETTUCE, BROCCOLI, TOMATOES AND PUMPKINS GROWING IN IT. THE CHILDREN ENJOYED EATING THE TOMATOES RIGHT OFF OF THE VINE EVEN IF THEY WERE GREEN. THEY ALSO SPENT LOTS OF TIME MASHING THEM UP WITH A MORTAR AND PESTLE AND JUST CARRYING THEM AROUND AS THEY COLLECTED THEM.
THE GARDEN IS PAST SEASON SO THE CHILDREN RECENTLY HAVE BEEN USING THE BIG BROCCOLI LEAVES TO BUILD, RIP APART, MAKE BABY BEDS, ETC.
PLANTED BY ONE CLASSROOM THEN, I AM HOPING WE CAN MAKE IT MORE OF A COMMUNITY PROJECT AND ALLOW ALL OF THE CLASSES TO DECIDE WHAT TO PLANT THERE WHEN SPRING ARRIVES. MAYBE EACH CLASS WILL VOTE ON WHAT KIND OF GARDEN IT WILL BE AND WHAT WILL BE GROWN.
WE ALSO HAD PLANTS HANGING FROM THE FENCE OF THE SPACE USING OVER THE DOOR SHOE HOLDERS. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPAND OUR GARDEN SPACE IN CREATIVE WAYS LIKE THIS IN THE SPRING.
I AM ALSO EAGER TO GUIDE THE CHILDREN TO TAKE CARE OF THE THINGS WE GROW, TO BE MINDFUL OF OUR WORK, TO WATCH WHERE WE STEP AND THEN HOPEFULLY HARVEST IT AS A GROUP AND CELEBRATE USING THE PRODUCE.
Wonderful description! Sounds like you planted some wonderful vegetables. I love how the children interacted with the garden too. I love your ideas for expanding this space. This is a great time to be thinking, drawing and sketching ideas. Hope you will find some seeds of inspiration in the coming weeks. 🙂
Ok headed to time
