This small, portable booklet provides teachers with a manageable, inquiry-based program aimed at establishing a native plants garden site on school grounds. A place-based focus on the Inland Northwest is brought to life with stunning photography, highlighting conservation issues facing the region and the West as a whole.



Native Plants Gardens focuses on the student learning process involved in establishing a garden site, rather than solely on the outcome. Likewise, a cross-curricular design translates easily to most curricular calendars.



Steeped in educational and developmental theory, this handy book provides educators with an effective program that they can incorporate into their curriculum on their own terms.
