The Learning Garden. Ecology, Teaching, and Transformation. 2009. illus. 232 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
This book tells the story of building a campus learning garden over aseries of cohorts of student teachers and environmental education students. The project began with high ideals, no funding, and a strongdesire 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.
