- Our garden provides many different learning experiences for the children at Richmond Friends School covering several curricular areas. We study seasonal cycles and life cycles as a major focus in our understanding and studies of the natural world. The garden gives first hand experience with this in so many ways. Another major focus of our science curriculum is recycling and reuse and taking care of our earth. Our worm bin and the composting are an important part of this. It is exciting for the children to see their snack and lunch scraps turned into lovely enriched soil for the garden. Keeping track of weather: daily temperature recordings, daily graphing of sunny, rainy and snowy days, and checking the rain gauge fits in with both our science and math programs. Getting kids outside, observing and being physically active in the preparation and care for the garden is an important part of our curriculum also. Gardening without chemicals and eating products that are nutritionally good and healthy is also a part of the garden project and can lead to good discussions about health and nutrition.
