...in Venice, California

The Learning Garden was launched in March of 2001. Since then it has quickly become one of the country’s largest and most successful school gardens.

The Learning Garden is a model example of how school gardens can transform the lives of students and teachers and the environment of their community. For several years, many groups worked with the high school horticulture program to transform the 60,000 foot plot of land into a garden, but due to lack of stronger community support it remained mostly an eyesore filled with trash, overgrown with weeds, and a magnet for vandalism. Today, the agricultural plots are filled with organic food grown by the high school students. Health-related classes such as tai chi, qigong, and natural food cooking are offered on its large stone patio. The garden has a large medicinal plant section for educational purposes, a pond with a water garden and waterfall, and a California native plant and cacti garden. A community garden is tended by local volunteers, and numerous groups and organizations use and support the garden.

The Learning Garden is much more than a garden. For the students of the high school it is an opportunity to be closer to nature, a place to learn about respecting the environment and taking care of plants and animals. For the teachers it is a place of solace. For the community it is a place of visual beauty. For those who have dedicated thousands of hours to making the inspiration of the garden a reality, it is a joyful and fulfilling accomplishment. For all who come, whether to a single event or as a regular volunteer, The Learning Garden is a remarkable and unique place that touches something deep in the heart and soul.

Learning Garden is a Montessori pre-school with a curriculum centered on nature studies. The school is located within walking distance of vibrant, urban Columbia City; but it is also a working farm with chickens and landscaped gardens. Children build a base for future knowledge through play, exploration and socializing in a nurturing academic environment.

agree  Jacqui Audouy: Though the other suggestions are often used, I think the French term wants to differentiate from the usual school garden (garden at a school)
8 hrs
  -> Thank you Jacqui :-)
agree  SueE: The links here are to British sites, for teaching garden to N. American sites - perhaps this is location sensitive?
10 hrs
  -> Thank you Sue - yes, could be - just had a look and will post a link of the US site I found, though
