School Garden and Nutrition Curriculum > Lessons > Key Lessons From All Seasons
Our seasonal approach to teaching bridges gardening, nutrition and science using standards-aligned lessons for the elementary school classroom and garden. Each lesson includes the applicable Colorado Academic Standards in science and comprehensive health with suggested extensions and modifications. Most lessons are one hour and include a healthy, kid-tested recipe that is appropriate for the classroom, topic and season.

Key Garden and Nutrition Lessons
The Denver Urban Gardens curriculum is a full year curriculum on gardening and nutrition, which can easily be adapted to periodic lessons. If you do not have the capacity to teach gardening and nutrition every week, here are some suggested seasonally appropriate lessons that focus on growing, the life cycle and basic nutrition.
Each lesson plan is densely packed to fill a one-hour class session with discussion, hands-on experiential learning and journaling. The lessons have been organized to follow the seasons but many can be adapted to fit other times of the year.
