The History of the School Garden

Have you ever wondered about the history of school gardens in the United States? This video describes the history of the school garden in America and offers reasons why school gardens are making a comeback.

Somehow looking back at the past gives me hope for the future. When I watched this video, I realized that children have not changed fundamentally since the early 20th century; they're still curious, creative, and hungry for knowledge. If the schools featured in the video could have such great success back then, then they can surely do so now when it is most vital to the resilience of the surrounding communities.
