"Creating Gardens of Goodness" is a how-to guide for five types of children's gardens, while "Creating School Gardens Guide" is a more comprehensive guide for creating school gardens as outdoor classrooms.
"Green Scene" is an example of how these types of learning environments can be successful and meaningful experiences.
