The Learning Garden: Ecology, Teaching, and Transformation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781433104701)

This book tells the story of building a campus learning garden over a series of cohorts of student teachers and environmental education students. The project began with high ideals, no funding, and a strong desire to do something about the environment: the result was a transformation in attitude toward nature, community and toward the learning process itself. Examining the process through three key metaphors - garden as environment, garden as community, garden as transformation - this book provides a bridge between theory and practice for ecology-centered teaching and learning.
