So much to learn!

Did you know that Denver Urban Gardens’ complete school garden and nutrition education curriculum is available online? From Vitamin A to Worm Composting, from Bioburgers to Fat Sandwiches, it’s all here and available to download. 

Our seasonal approach to teaching builds a bridge for students between gardening, nutrition and science. Between the classroom and garden, the full curriculum spans the 50 hours that evidence suggests is needed to impact individual behavior and knowledge in children. This year-round curriculum provides opportunities for student inquiry and investigation in earth and life sciences, with additional relevancy to math, literacy and social studies. Lessons are linked to Denver Public Schools Standards for easy integration into existing curriculum, and are written in a user-friendly format accessible to both teachers and volunteers.
