School Garden
In this episode of NJEA’s Classroom Close-up, the Margate School Garden becomes an outdoor classroom that students learn from and in! The garden is used to teach science and math concepts and fulfill curricular standards and objectives and also provides healthy food for the school and local community to enjoy. Through the Garden Gourmet program, students create and eat healthy dishes from the vegetables they harvest. By partnering with a local farmers’ market, students are able to sell their fresh produce and donate the proceeds to a local food bank.
