Schneider believes that gardening activities, and specifically projects such as this, have much to offer people of all backgrounds, making them a necessary component of science education. For my mother and grandmother, gardening is a source of enjoyment, pride, and a connection to the natural world that should not be lost. For the scientist, gardening provides many opportunities for students to conduct experiments while reaping the benefits of their labor. For the environmentalist, gardening can provide an understanding of how we can live more sustainably.
