Learning garden comes to Gwinnett school

Gwinnett County’s Winn Holt Elementary has just gotten a “learning garden” compliments of Captain Planet Foundation and SCANA Energy. CPF’s Learning Garden program includes garden-based lessons tied to K-5 Common Core Standards. It also encourages the idea that the school garden is an extension of the traditional classroom rather than an extracurricular activity. Students earn core lessons in math, science, social studies, health and language arts, while enjoying physical activities, the outdoors, and fruit and vegetable tasting opportunities.
