🌻 Celebrate diversity in the garden! 🌻 Just like nature, garden ecosystems thrive when they include a diversity of plant and animal life. This lesson plan for high school students explores the benefits of biodiversity and how it makes the garden ecosystem stronger by learning about a technique known as companion planting. The benefits of diversity in a garden run parallel to the benefits of diversity within humanity. By gathering and cooperating, people of different backgrounds and experiences can help enhance life experiences solve problems, and create a brighter future. This lesson plan was created in collaboration with njgardenteacher Sonya Harris, an educator who spearheaded the award-winning Bullock Children’s Garden at the Dorothy L. Bullock Elementary School in Glassboro, NJ. Sonya also serves on the KidsGardening board of directors.
