Workgroup Information Garden- Based Learning
Summary	DEACTIVATED 3/15/19 PER Food Literacy & Healthy Lifestyles PT AND ROSE HAYDEN SMITH - Sherry Cooper GBL and school gardens hold great potential for academic and social development for youth. Research has proven that GBL provides a vehicle for improving nutrition, reducing obesity, contributing to positive youth and community development, promoting social development, and increasing academic performance, among other things. There are many models, programs, and products that demonstrate how GBL can help achieve a wide array of educational goals and outcomes, be successfully integrated into other kinds of programs, and serve as rich, multi-disciplinary programs in and of themselves. Our workgroup investigates issues related to gardening with children and the use of gardening as a vehicle for youth education in a variety of disciplines.
