Importance of School Gardens

February 18, 2020 By Tania Karamitos

Now more than ever, with climate change and sustainability at the forefront, the VSGP want to encourage more schools to increase their greenspace and take learning outdoors.

School gardens provide spaces where children may learn about productive gardens, biodiversity and sustainability, as well as providing a way to engage students, teachers, parents and the broader community.

They also give teachers the opportunity to take learning outdoors and provide students an opportunity to practise and explore fresh ideas in the face of climate change by being involved in the development of green spaces within their own school environment.

Listen to VSGP advocate Costa Georgiadis explain the importance and many benefits of outdoor learning for schools.
