Tell me a story...
Long ago the kangaroo was grooming her joey on the bank of a brook. They liked to listen to the water burble as the mama combed her baby’s fur. On this day, an old wombat staggered toward them.
The book, The Gardener, by Sarah Stewart gently illustrates how sharing growing things can be a gift to others and the community.
Participants define what they want to accomplish for the community garden and identify a place that is available and has the right conditions. This requires research and permissions.
When the site is selected, they make a final plan for what plants to put into the garden based on soil, location, and availability. They make a plan to seek donations of plants or funds for their garden.
This experiential lesson involves building the garden and inviting people to enjoy and participate.
This unit explores the benefits and tasks of building and caring for a garden. The long-term project is a quiet area for people to find peace in the community or neighborhood.
From stories and examples, participants identify attributes, motivation, and impact of philanthropists.
Based on researched information, participants write a bio-poem about a philanthropist.
