3.2 School garden booklet guide

Designing a practical edible area for outdoor learning need a handful of knowledge and resources. That is why as part of my individual design stage, I decided to create a personalised LEA booklet containing all of the information, useful resources, and guides on building a school edible garden from recyclable materials, a planting calendar, and various school DIY projects proposals. Such a guide will give the school a great starting point for the edible garden journey at relatively minimal costs.

“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.”

— Gertrude Jekyll “The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.”

– Alfred Austin “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

- Audrey Hepburn
