garden-based Lesson Plans
for Grades 6 - 8
MANY of our lessons listed as appropriate for elementary grades can easily and effectively be adapted for middle school by taking the theme and/or activity of the lesson and tailoring it to your students!
All of these lessons can be implemented without a school garden, though some do require planting areas, and many are most effective and fun with some kind of outdoor green space to explore.
Almost all of the Fall & Spring lessons include an option for indoors if going outside is not possible. The Winter lessons are written to be done entirely indoors.
