Growing With Plants was developed by Cooperative Extension Horticultural and Nutrition educators. It includes background information that teachers and volunteers will find useful in teaching this curriculum to children such as What is Experiential Learning, Nutrients and What they Do, Supply List, Check List for Preparation, Garden Foods of Different Ethnic Groups, Recommended Resources, Book List, and a guide to starting community and school gardens. The nine lessons are arranged in an easy to follow outline which includes a vocabulary list, objectives, material needed, and life skills learned. Cooperative Extension programs and employment are available to all without discrimination. Evidence of noncompliance may be reported through your local Cooperative Extension office.
Cost includes shipping and handling.
