The Learning Garden

This book tells the story of building a campus «learning garden» over a series
of cohorts of student teachers and environmental education students. The project
began with high ideals, no funding, and a strong desire to do something about
the environment: the result was a transformation in attitude toward nature,
community and toward the learning process itself. Examining the process through
three key metaphors   garden as environment, garden as community, garden
as transformation   this book provides a bridge between theory and
practice for ecology-centered teaching and learning.
