Celebrating 15 years and over
1,100 indoor school gardens
growing across Canada
Saskatoon, SK - April 11, 2023 – Little Green
Thumbs (LGT), a classroom garden program
that started in Saskatchewan in 2007, celebrates
15 years of operation and over 1,100 classroom
gardens growing each school year.
-BY, media release, Brit MacDonald, National Director, LGT
April 11, 2023
In the last 15 years, more than 150,000 students across Canada have
grown a classroom garden and planted the seeds of food and farming
knowledge and understanding.
Little Green Thumbs, a program managed by Agriculture in the Classroom
Saskatchewan (AITC-SK), provides teachers with the equipment,
training, and ongoing support to grow food right in their own classrooms
and to harvest the learning opportunities it presents. Students actively
participate in planting and caring for their garden, growing a variety of
vegetables such as lettuce, beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Classroom
gardens become living laboratories, a tool for students to apply real-life
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) skills and bring learning
to life. An LGT garden becomes an extension of a traditional classroom,
naturally inspiring inquiry-based, cross-curricular, and experiential
learning.
“We know that our communities need informed and inspired leaders,”
said Brit MacDonald, LGT National Program Director. “We need to equip
the next generation with the skills, knowledge, and motivation to work
for the health of our food system, environment, and each other. A garden
is a great place to grow such leaders.”
The impact of a classroom garden on students extends beyond learning
how to grow food. There is a growing recognition in our country that
food and farming lie at the heart of some of our most pressing social and
environmental issues. More importantly, they lie at the heart of the solutions.
Because of this, food and farming present some of our most current
and engaging educational opportunities, and Little Green Thumbs is
a model example. Students truly get their hands dirty growing classroom
crops, harvesting food, skills, and knowledge, and then sharing that
experience with their school, family, and greater community.
Leanne Schappert, a Little Green Thumbs teacher who has been growing
a Little Green Thumbs garden for 15 years says, “Having a garden in the
classroom is the opportunity to have hands-on learning for my students.
Being a part of the garden, planting and taking care of it, and having a
vested interest really makes learning happen. I see they’re excited about
learning. They’re passionate about learning. They walk in the classroom
every day to see what's happening. I can’t imagine teaching without [the
garden].”
The Little Green Thumbs program began with four teachers in Saskatchewan
in 2007. Over 15 years it has expanded into Alberta, Newfoundland,
Manitoba, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia,
Nunavut, and Quebec, and has over 1,100 teachers and 26,000 students
‘dig in’ each year across Canada. In Saskatchewan alone, 38,303 students
have participated in the program in a decade and a half.
