Abstract	This course will provide elementary school teachers, Master Gardeners, 4-H agents and leaders, and horticulture educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate gardening and horticulture into the elementary school curriculum. Participants will learn how to construct interdisciplinary, garden-based educational units, which meet many of Virginia’s new Standards of Learning, to use with their students. Gardening and caring for plants are practical, hands-on approaches to learning that can be used to demonstrate many educational topics and appeal to a variety of learners. This is a practical teaching approach that can be applied both indoors and outdoors. Course Description Participants will explore the interdisciplinary features of horticulture and gardening as they apply to the elementary school curriculum. The course will focus on practical, hands-on experiences for participants as they are introduced to the science of horticulture and currently available garden-based curricula. New Virginia 4-H horticulture materials will be used to expand the course material. Course topics also include horticulture and gardening as they relate to history, geography, nutrition, literature, mathematics, science, social studies, and art. In addition, participants will be introduced to the field of horticulture therapy, Cooperative Extension Service programs, and gardening with special needs students. Participants will develop interdisciplinary, garden-based curriculum and implement that curriculum with their own students.
