A school garden programme
A. The first plan for the school garden was to improve the appearance of a bare courtyard. Teachers later added a food education goal after families asked how pupils could learn where vegetables came from.
B. Rain tanks were connected to the roofs of two school buildings. During the first term, they supplied enough water for eight raised beds and reduced use of the mains supply by 35 percent.
C. Pupils used the beds in science lessons to compare soil acidity and record how different compost mixtures affected seed growth.
D. The garden was busiest in spring and early summer. During winter, muddy paths made it difficult for younger pupils to reach the beds until the school added a paved route.
E. The review found the largest improvement in lunch participation at schools that planned garden activities together with their meal service.
