Participants gained inspiration, practical ideas, and examples from best practice. They explored a vision for school gardens that responds to the needs of children, teachers, and the city.
The morning session offered several perspectives on the importance and potential use of school gardens. It presented their transformation and use as a learning environment, experience from practice, and the perspectives of an architect, a doctor, and a founding body.
The afternoon workshop createed space for joint work in smaller groups. The discussion focused, for example, on what school gardens need today, what kind of support teachers need, and how schools can share their experience.
