Lesson 1 - Education
Garden Design
Introduction to gardening and the components of a gardening ecosystem: soil, water,
plants, pollinators, pests, and biodiversity.
The community will craft a vision for the
garden by assessing available resources and being trained in garden design strategies:
desired plants, available space, climate/water, maintenance level, season, and materials.
Students will also be exposed to the different types of urban gardens that exist around
the world: vertical gardens, hydroponic systems, raised beds, rooftops, etc.
The lesson will include facilitated discussion on the benefits of being a gardener and
having a garden space in the community: practical skills, green spaces, and community
opportunities.
Activity
Students design their own gardens and label plants, engaging them in the
design process. Instructor will facilitate/guide toward a joint decision on garden design
and dimensions based on available resources.
