A Guide to School Garden Projects!
Master Gardeners in Texas have created a 32-page publication "A Guide to School Garden Projects" to help teachers interested in developing gardens for students on their campuses. The publication contains photos and information about: Gardening benefits, planning a garden, cylinder gardens, container gardens, raised-bed gardens, beneficial insects, and butterfly gardens. The project began when Master Gardener Peggy d'Hemecourt was asked by Boone Holladay, then-county extension agent-horticulture, about creating a publication to help Master Gardeners help teachers. your garden is healthy, vibrant, and thriving all year round.
This digital version is available for anyone to download at no charge.
