March 28, 2015—Facilitated by Debbie Follett. Open to all K-12 teachers. Learn how to design and develop a school garden to not only grow healthy veggies, but also engage students with math, language arts, science, nutrition, and general learner outcomes. By showing children how to grow their own vegetables they will develop an awareness and appreciation of place—a place where they can create, nurture and expand. The workshop will include a tour of the Hilo Union Elementary School garden, a hydroponics demonstration and a discussion that will focus on sourcing funds and sponsors for your school garden program. Each participant will receive a free hydroponic kit.
