School gardens can be excellent tools to help children learn about the origins of their food, play a role in growing that food, and provide opportunities for them to sample nutritious, fresh fruits and vegetables. School gardens can be used to teach children about ecology, agriculture, nutrition, history, math, business, and science, as well as provide opportunities for physical activity.
