The reason why I choose this topic is that I know a lot of students are complaining that CalArts is too plain. It is just one main building with a small campus. I would like to design a space for the CalArts campus where students and teachers can work together as a community and taking care of the plants. The community can hold a farmers market, season food festival or food-related artwork competition.
Few things I read about the benefits of school garden:
- Gardens create opportunities for students to work cooperatively and to take on responsibilities.
- Gardens provide unique opportunities for cross-generational connections.
- Students learn to focus and patience, cooperation, teamwork, and social skills.
-Combining language arts and gardening activities brings a hands-on element to a subject normally taught lecture-style, providing inspiration and motivation for students who struggle to focus in traditional classroom settings.
How to manage a school garden:
- Organize and coordinate your efforts as a garden team. (Plant meeting day, annual events, worksheet, planting guide, etc.)
- Engage teachers and other school staff. (Invitation, classes, posters, etc)
Recruit teachers, communicate the garden vision and provide opportunities for them to engage with the garden.
- Build a community of support around your garden to enhance your school’s commitment to real food and engage families in garden care and eating produce.
1. Who will be responsible for the garden?
2. What will we need?
3. How big will the garden be?
4. How will we decide what to grow?
5. Who will do the work?
6. How much time will it take?
7. What training do we need?
8. What support will we need?
9. How do we get people to feel positive about the garden?
