Harmony Gardens

Gardens created and maintained by children may not be the biggest or the prettiest, and they probably won't grace the list of "Top Ten Places to See" in your community; however, one could suspect they might be the most productive learning centers in a school, developing our children into future gardeners and, more importantely, future stewards of our natural resources and our communities.

Whether you are striving to foster earth stewardship in school children, teach science concepts, water conservation, math and economic principles, make literature come alive through an enchanting Peter Rabbit garden, or just give a facelift to an otherwise uninviting vacant lot, gardens can be a powerful avenue through which we bring about positive change in children's surroundings and in their lives.

Through KEA's Harmony Gardens Program, we offer The Garden Network, a curriculum that provides a one-stop shop for teachers and other interested adults seeking information about establishing, funding, and maintaining a children's garden.
