Gardening, cooking, eating, composting…these are truly basic things but the lesson they could teach are obscured and drowned out by the clamor of the media and the insidious temptations of consumerism. Kids today are bombarded with a pop culture which teaches redemption through buying things. School gardens on the other hand, turn pop culture upside down - they teach redemption through a deep appreciation for the real, the authentic and the lasting - for the things that money can’t buy, the very things that matter most of all if we are going to lead sane healthy and sustainable lives. Kids who learn environmental and nutritional lessons through school gardening - and school cooking and eating- learn ethics. A curriculum designed to educate both the senses and the conscience will teach children their moral obligation to be caretakers and stewards of the finite resources of our planet. And it will teach them the joy of the table, the pleasures of real work and the meaning of community.
