ROOTS AND RESEARCH IN URBAN SCHOOL GARDENS - VE...

This book explores the urban school garden as a bridge between environmental action and
thought. As a small-scale response to global issues around access to food and land  urban
school gardens promote practical knowledge of farming as well as help renew cultural ideals of
shared space and mutual support for the organic  built environment. Through a comprehensive
history of school garden practice rooted in Eastern industrial cities  to case studies from
four Pacific Rim regions  this book examines the practice and culture of the urban school
garden as a central symbol for environmental learning. As poetically described by students 
teachers  and community members in both historical and contemporary gardens  the story of the
urban school garden inspires a new narrative in connecting learners to the land.
