Growing naturally
A Teacher's Guide to Organic Gardening
Maggi Brown - former Head of Education for Garden Organic
Growing Naturally has been written so that teachers, with or without gardening expertise, can make full use of school gardens, applying the work to their day-to-day curriculum requirements.
Ideas for investigation, activities and experiments flow from the organic gardening information. Growing Naturally can be used by schools involved in a whole site redevelopment, or by an individual teacher to work on flower beds next to the classroom window. Gardening is a fun and easily accessible way for children to start to learn about the environment. Growing Naturally links the enjoyment of the children to the needs of the classroom.
The chapters deal with:
- What is organic gardening?
- Getting started in your schools
- Ground clearing Preparing and caring for the soil
- Recycling
- Worm composting
- Liquid plant food
- Pest control
- The wildlife and flower garden
- The vegetable garden
- Water in the organic garden
- Windowsill planting
There are also plant lists, a glossary and section on useful further reading.
