The two days were great for many reasons but the most inspiring event was the 45 minute "School Garden Roundtable". It really could have been a day in itself, (and should be!) and brought out a large, diverse group of committed folks involved with school gardens.
Clearly school gardening is a HOT TOPIC and there were all sorts of gardens with all sorts of missions and models springing up all over. From extensive all organic fully curriculum-integrated gardens at the Willow School to stretching and striving, scrappy urban gardens in Newark (that's us!) people are seeing to power of school gardens to activate learners and shift kids food choices.
