Turn Your
Outdoor School Space Into a Living Classroom

An immersive 2-day bootcamp and year-long professional support to help educators turn gardens into living classrooms for science, SEL, and sustainability.

The truth? Kids are struggling — and classrooms aren't helping.

Students today are more anxious, more distracted, and more disconnected than ever. They sit for hours. Stare at screens. Eat food that barely fuels them. 

 

And you feel it. The boredom. The burnout. The blank stares when you ask a question. You're doing your best — but deep down, you know they need something else. Something real. Something that gets them moving, touching, tasting, and feeling again.

That’s where we come in. This isn’t just a “garden class.”
It’s a full framework to turn your outdoor space into a hands-on, living classroom where students light up. Where science, math, and literacy come alive through food, soil, and connection. Where picky eaters try kale. Where anxious kids find calm. Where learning finally makes sense.

 

This is what education can feel like.
And it starts with two days. Are you in?

This program is for you if you’re an educator with a vision to:

Make your students feel excited to learn again.
Because worksheets and whiteboards can’t compete with the

magic of planting a seed and watching it grow.

Teach science, math, and nutrition through real life.
You're tired of disconnected lessons — you offer hands-on, cross-disciplinary learning that sticks.

Bring calm and focus into your classroom.
You know kids today are anxious and overstimulated. Nature has always been the best reset button.

Inspire healthier habits and happier minds.
Most kids don’t eat vegetables. Many can’t name what’s in their lunch. You want to change that — for good.

Be part of a bigger movement in education.
You’re not just here for a weekend workshop. You're shifting the future of learning.

About Jordan's Garden

Empower Your Students with Hands-On Learning

Jordan’s Garden is a movement to redefine how we educate, engage, and empower through nature. Our garden-based education program was created to support teachers who want to shift from traditional classroom models into a more dynamic, outdoor, and sensory-rich learning environment.

 

Over the past few years, we’ve worked with multiple schools and community groups to integrate sustainable urban agriculture, science, natural dietary, and emotional development into everyday instruction. Our program is rooted in the belief that children learn best through hands-on experience, inquiry-based learning, and meaningful relationships with their environment.
