There are only two percent of the nation 's population that are farmers. Two percent of the people in America raise the crops and the meat for the whole country. This number needs to change in order to ensure that children and the nation’s children will be able to survive. Today’s kids do not know where their food is from which means they take farmers for granted. One personal story that can be recalled happened just recently. A student pointed to a turkey and asked “What is that? A giant rooster?” The response was “No, that is a turkey, and they come from turkey houses.” This is what brought up the thought of just how important ag education is. The ones in the field work very hard to improve the ways of life for the animals and plants they grow so that the people of America can eat. A recent study showed that U.S. cattle ranchers raise just

The Chicago Horticultural Society, founded in 1890, opened the doors to the famous Chicago Botanic Garden to visitors in 1972. This grandiose garden has over 50,000 members, which is one of the largest memberships of a United States of America botanic garden. People of all ages, interests, and abilities participate in programs, take classes, and stroll the grounds year-round. I have selected the Chicago Botanic Garden in Chicago, Illinois to be my precedent. These are the reasons why I am interested in this particular precedent. I love how the pathways throughout the whole garden gives visitors a fantastic view of the flourishing, exquisite flowers. There are many specific functions of this beautiful garden. The Green Roof Garden contains a

Outside of the classroom, the school has an excellent agriculture land laboratory area. The land lab is 45 acres and consists of three pastures for cattle, a chicken coop, three green houses, two shade houses, hydroponic stackers, a cattle barn and pig pens. The foundations students are also given a designated area where they are able to grow vegetables in Earth Boxes, above ground planting containers.

“Elsewhere, the garden stands for a state of cultivation, hence a less exalted estimate of nature's beneficence...Both the wild and the cultivated versions of the garden image embody something of that timeless impulse to cut loose from the constraints of a complex society...To depict America as a garden is to express aspirations still considered utopian--aspirations, that is, toward abundance, leisure, freedom, and a greater harmony of existence.

A. To put my plan into action I first need to approve the building of my garden with the principal of the school I plan to involve in this project. There is not much high tech equipment needed for this project; however, I will need to use a garden hose, a garden hoe, and small gardening shovels. After getting approval and equipment together I will need to gather my resources including wood, dirt, a variety of plants, and peat. Then in the spring the garden will be created. First, the raised garden boxes will be constructed, filled with soil and peat. After the garden's soil has been mixed with the peat and sat for a few days it will be time to plant the seeds and buds. As the plants grow there will be necessary weeding and watering of the garden.

Sally had a portable greenhouse available and also provided the means of planting as well. We decided that Spinach would be the best thing to grow because of the rate of how fast it grows and the ability for the children to able to even try the spinach after it grows. We even found a book on a little girl who grew her own spinach and how she did it, with pictures, so the children would have a better understanding. Through this our goal was for the children to be able experience growing their own food and having the chance to try a vegetable they may have never had before, allowing them to expand their palates. Keeping in mind that it is harder for low income families to be able to afford fruits and vegetables because of the high price that is associated with them, we wanted to take the opportunity to show children that there are other ways to obtain fruits and

With over 100 neighborhoods and around three million people, Chicago is known for its diversity and culture. But, many communities in Chicago, specifically southern neighborhoods, are food desserts. These areas where fresh affordable produce is difficult to acquire. Community gardening is an effort that provides a space to strengthen relationships while simultaneously providing physical aid to food insecure people. Community gardens have been rising in popularity and for good reason.

Since World War II, gardening industry grows quite rapidly with significant impact on the way people entertainment and changes people’s lives. Although the Blossoms Garden Center (BGC) has developed with a strong reputation for the quality and range of its plant and its knowledgeable staff, it still faced problems during the developing process, which could cause negative effects in itself such as lack of competitiveness and loss market shares (PMM, 2015). Specifically, in line with market changes, the business generated revenue has sharply decreased from £4.23million in 2013 to £3.87million in 2014 (PMM, 2015). This case study aims to identify those problems of Blossoms Garden Center. It critically examines a number of strategies could be used efficiently and effectively in BGC. Finally, it will evaluate those strategies that appear to yield the best results.

Gardens will also stimulate the health of homeowners, and would give the economy a much needed and healthy boost.

When looking at all the Common Core Standards there were many standards that could be incorporated into a lesson about gardening, so many that we chose six of them. The first one we chose was CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.1. In this standard, students would ask and answer questions demonstrating that they understand the text. A way to incorporate this into a classroom would be to ask students questions, about gardening and plants,before you read aloud a book about gardens to them. Instead of having the students answer the questions right away, have them think about these questions while you read aloud the book. After you finish reading

There are many ways we as a school can help. As a school we could make a garden, Mygrove lists five ways planting can help make a difference in your economy by “1. Plants reduce pollution by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and giving off oxygen-just what we need to survive! This is called photosynthesis. 2. If your garden has edible plants that you can eat, it means that you don’t have to shop at the supermarket as much! Sometimes food at the supermarket has travelled very far to get there, using up a lot of energy. Eating food that has been grown in your garden helps cut down on this. 3. Plants help remove chemicals and bacteria from water in the ground. 4. For wildlife, plants can be both their food source and home! Lots of plants give animals, insects and reptiles more places to hide from predators. 5. Trees and plants absorb sound and help with noise pollutions. For people who live near a motorway or railway, planting trees can prevent some of the noise from roads and trains disturbing homes.” Not only does
