School gardens are a wonderful way to use the schoolyard as a classroom, reconnect students with the natural world and the true source of their food, and teach them valuable gardening and agriculture concepts and skills that integrate with several subjects, such as math, science, art, health and physical education, and social studies, as well as several educational goals, including personal and social responsibility.
"Young people increasingly are isolated from the land and deprived of the joys and responsibilities it teaches."

"To a great extent we are a deplaced people for whom our immediate places are no longer sources of food, water, livelihood,
energy, materials, friends, recreation, or sacred inspiration."
