MSGC succeeded in attracting funding for a whole new program to develop lessons and lesson plans aligned with state and national education standards to be available online with the goal of reaching 15-20,000 students. Program includes developing and publishing Plant Something for ME a book in the MAITC “Agriculture for ME” book series. What Is Garden-based Learning? Garden-based learning uses school or community gardens and garden programs that involve hands-on activities as a platform for instruction in many different areas of education. Garden-based learning strengthens academic skills, social and life skills in areas of nutrition, leadership, and decision making. In Maine, many organizations are doing important work in Ag education.  Maine Agriculture in the Classroom helps Maine kids improve their agricultural literacy,  Maine School Garden Network promotes and supports educational gardens for youth, and  ReTreeUs plants orchards with local schools and provides educational programs that empower young people and their families to grow their own home orchards and gardens.
