This course accompanies the online course School Gardens hosted by Trillium Montessori. It only offers the CEU certificate through Loyola University Maryland and does not contain any course material.
Join Kelly Johnson, Montessori educator and children’s gardening expert, in this pre-recorded course as we learn the practicalities of how to maintain a school garden and facilitate learning through gardening in an elementary school setting. This course provides specific guidance on how to successfully garden with children, lesson plans for the garden that align with existing Montessori elementary lessons, and the health and academic benefits of gardening with children. This course includes lesson plans specifically for use with elementary aged children in school gardens, and teachers will be prepared to offer extension projects that support the Montessori elementary curriculum.
