BEEYOND HARVESTED GARDEN PROGRAM
Our Garden & Agriculture Program is Perfect for The Classroom & Outdoor Gardens
Our Garden and Agriculture Program for Schools implements STEM lessons aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Designed for grades 3-5, this comprehensive five-unit curriculum explores the interconnected systems of soil health, decomposition, composting, invertebrates, native bees and pollinators, plant life cycles, and sustainable food production. Through hands-on activities and inquiry-based learning, students will gain a deeper understanding of how these natural processes sustain life and depend on each other. Accessible and adaptable, these units provide educators with essential tools to engage students in meaningful exploration of our natural world.
Each garden unit accommodates various student learning modalities and includes presentations, writing prompts, videos, STEAM activities, and hands-on experiments. Units can be taught in sections over days or weeks, promoting deeper learning through practical activities that connect the curriculum to real-world phenomena.
Join us on this journey of discovery and see your students become empowered stewards of our environment. They'll gain the skills and understanding to cultivate sustainable gardens and green spaces, promoting ecological health along the way!
We foster an engineering mindset with our STEM education programming following the engaging, applying, and conducting model to allow students to explore their understanding of the material through application and experimentation.
