\\START HERE// *What’s your CONTEXT?*
When it comes to learning, creating, or teaching, context is everything. Your context shapes the way you learn, the way you teach, the resources you have, and the unique gifts you can share with others. I’d love to get a sense of where you’re at right now — not to compare, but to understand the different paths we’re all walking. That’s why I’ve made this super simple poll — you just click the option that feels closest to your situation. No need to write a big post (unless you want to 😉). Your context matters, and by sharing it, we can start seeing how diverse and inspiring our community really is. 👉 Cast your vote below!

Why the Learning Garden Exists
The number one reason this community exists is to support parents and teachers build the learning capacity of their gardens and outdoor green spaces. If you feel like screen time is dominating the classroom or sitting children down for hours has become the unfortunate norm, this is the place to be. If you want students and children to build or reconnect with nature (for the myriad reasons it’s proven to be beneficial) then you are in the right place. I’m curious - what is your experience with school or home Learnign Gardens? How do you use them?

Feeling the feels
This week I’m back in a traditional classroom, teaching. TBH it’s hard. I see the looks on some of my students faces - that look of disengaged potential. Whilst I do my best to organise things that are fun and engaging and stimulating for young minds, sometimes the confines of the walled classroom just don’t help. So what did I do differently, yesterday, you ask? I took them outside and into the garden of course! The shift in mood (mine included) was palpable! Eyes and demeanour went from low to high. The students began to self organise as we set out on a mission to create mandalas (a favourite of mine) out of found materials that lifted our spirits. Sometimes it’s that easy. This is something I want to remind us all of. The simple fact is that schools aren’t really designed for humans. But gardens are - They feed our souls and help to replenish depleted minds. Just seeing the leaves sway in the wind and being able to interact with different textures and flowers and patterns and insects and the wind! Anyway - consider this your reminder to create human environments for your students. They need it more than you think. So do you. Sam
