“Children who learn in eco‑school garden environments experience healthier and happier learning spaces that enhance their overall well‑being and contribute to improved learning outcomes”.
In these settings, learners engaged in an eco‑school garden activity outdoors, interacting actively and joyfully with one another. Surrounded by greenery and open space, they feel energized, comfortable, and engaged. The vibrant natural atmosphere creates a supportive environment that nurtures student well-being, encourages positive social interaction, and promotes meaningful learning.
Eco‑school gardens help children improve life skills and learning outcomes by:
Improving students’ life skills by involving them in community efforts to further agricultural practices.
Favoring sustainable farming by reducing plastic use, recycling materials, and reusing tools to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Promoting food security within the school and the surrounding community.
