March Farms also works with UCONN students to address problems concerning agriculture and their farm, and possible solutions to these problems. They also like to educate adults during tours about the farm and their innovations and ecologically friendly farming

They are to be judged on beauty. What is inside matters, but outward appearance is most important. It is so crucial people are starving for it. No, this is not a beauty pageant; it is the fruit at the supermarket. With less than 1% of farmers in the United States today; ⅓ of the food they grow is wasted. There is a canyon wide gap between producers and consumers, and it is getting larger by the day. Consumers need to have more control and know where food comes from. It can start in the classroom. Despite the benefits of the industrial food system, learning how to grow food and keep it alive is essential skill, rooting our survival, protecting the environment, and keeping humanity healthy that can be taught to children in gardening classes.

Lillian’s Garden Assisted Living Facility is wanting to attract multiple target markets. The first target market Lillian’s Garden is wanting to attract are individuals who have had a stroke.

Lillian Garden provides such assistance while still making the resident feel independent while providing support services along with the necessary supervision.

Agriculture is a growing and diverse industry. With a huge industry, there has got to be some challenges. The biggest challenge facing the youth in agriculture is the lack of qualified agriculture teachers. Agriculture teachers develop more than farmers, they develop the future of our nation. It is highly important that we fill these positions, because of the drastic obstacles that the agriculture industry will be facing. Why is there so many positions open? Students have expectations of what it will be like to teach ag. They expect it to be a continuation of their FFA careers and that all they will do it teach agriculture. The truth is there is a lot more that falls under the job title of ag teacher. Which students don’t find out till they

When the majority of people think of vegetable gardening, they instantly associate it with planting seeds in the spring and then harvesting the rewards in autumn. This does not mean, however, that gardening vegetables in the fall is not an option, too. Some plants are quite well disposed for being gardened during the fall.

Teaching agriculture to college students may be his profession, but his priority is their safety.

Community gardens around the world are becoming more and more populated, especially in large cities. One of the places that community gardens got its start was in Manhattan, New York, under the New York City Parks Department Land in a urban area. An environmental group dedicated themselves to preserving local urban gardens. This group of environmentalist, called Green Guerillas, was started in 1973. Their main purpose was to plant "seed bombs' that were packed with fertilizer, seeds, and water. The advantage of this project was to help make the land, such as empty lots that were overgrown with weeds, beautiful again.

This year I participated in the 4-H Garden Project. I used a tractor to prepare my site by plowing the soil. Then, I tilled the soil into rows while mixing in fertilizer. The crops that I planted were potatoes, tomatoes, onions, carrots, radish, okra, squash, zucchini, cucumber, and watermelon. There were some difficulties this year including little participation and extreme heat. These factors limited the amount of produce the garden made. Several plants including radish, carrots, squash, zucchini, and cucumbers were killed by the heat. I replanted the radish and carrot plants but they were again killed. Maintenance was a big task with this project. The garden had to be weeded at least once a week and after every rain shower. I tilled every

The purpose of The Four Seasons of Gardening Conference is to educate the public about various horticulture-related topics. We secure speakers from Ohio and surrounding states to speak on topics ranging from birding, wildlife, and insects to gardening, local food, and recycling. We also offer classes and workshops for our attendees. We feature vendors from Licking and surrounding counties are present promoting related goods and services. This event would not be complete without a welcoming breakfast and wholesome lunch. Our attendees are served muffins and coffee in the morning and lunch. This event starts at 8 am and ends at 4 pm.

I like it when young children learn with their hands that is why I want them to plant different seeds with their class. With this students will have fun and also learn how fruits grow. Planting seeds will expose nature to the children. Growing

Ross’ (2000) article ‘Curriculum Gardening’ explores the notion of a garden as a metaphor for curriculum in education. According to the Catholic Education Office Sydney (2014), the curriculum is not just a document, but a framework that is put in place to nurture student learning and allow students to be engaged in meaningful and purposeful learning experiences that will create life-long learners. It is Ross’ view that ‘Curriculum Gardening’ is a sound metaphor, because just like a garden students are given the chance to grow and learn.

I think agriculture can help schools. Through Agriculture in Schools, students ages 10-14 and their teachers receive training in best practices, including compost-making, proper sowing and cultivation. Students who participate learn to appreciate the great importance and dignity of agricultural work. Agriculture will help with fresh ingredients; young people often have a poor opinion of agricultural work. Clearly, this could be the answer to teach students, how to be able to grow more food of better nutritional quality. Agriculture should be an elective or even a requirement at schools.
