Gardening is very good

A well-rounded education! 🙂
For more green areas!
I think this idea has merit. Many schools have programs while other schools would be struggling for facilities, equipment, expertise, soil and water.
An initiative that made it possible for “EVERY SCHOOL” to implement would be a positive consideration.
I tried to start one in Geand Junction and was shot down. So much good learning could help a variety of students learn crossover skills that relate to real life.
I think is a good idea, but it should all the way to high school
Well done to the school for the garden initiative.
A ‘gardening programme’ is great, as long as they first learn the difference between ‘program’ (computer) and programme (a syllabus, etc).
Should you do this in correct english?

Not less than 75 years ago my mother’s cousin who was a salesman instilled in me a love of gardening and growing things that has never left me. Am so pleased to see schools managing to fit in gardening skills today. Start them early and it will stick for life.
Great idea
Excellent idea. We should implement in our schools in Lebanon.
Having taught gardening at a High School in the West Yorkshire Pennines I cansay that if the students get as much enjoyment from this activity it will stand them in good steadin later life!!!
