Foundation offers help for teaching “green”
Green Education Foundation is launching the largest gardening initiative in history, calling on Pre K-12 schools to plant 10,000 indoor or outdoor gardens. GEF’s website will provide everything that a novice would need to plant gardens, including checklists for school approvals, plot location guidelines; indoor container garden suggestions, funding sources (including grant templates) garden plans, vegetable and flower suggestions and much more.
GEF also provides a multitude of standards-based lessons linking gardening to science, math, language arts, creative arts and technology. Summer internships and community service programs will be available to middle and high school students. Register by Oct. 30, 2009, and be entered into a raffle for free garden kits (gloves, tools, seeds, etc.) or cash prizes to jump start and/or fund your gardens, enroll today at www.GreenEducationFoundation.org.
Green Education Foundation (GEF) is a non-profit organization that provides educational resources that promote sustainable, impactful pro-green behaviors in children, families, and communities.
