I am an outdoor and garden educator and the author of The School Garden Curriculum: An Integrated K-8 Guide to Discovering Science, Ecology, and Whole-Systems Thinking. Inspired by ecological design and permaculture principles, my goal is to make weekly gardening lessons more easily accessible to all educators and to inspire the next generation of change-makers.

Give them chances to give and to show love without any force. Encourage giving behaviors through play and cooperative learning.
