Global Gardens

This guide supports post-primary educators to explore Global Citizenship Education (GCE) through school gardens. It gives information, activities, ideas and practical guidance for both Junior Cycle and Transition Year groups.

 Whether you are starting or maintaining a school garden, the Global Gardens guide will help you and your students explore global justice issues and understand how our local actions have a global impact.

There are also reflection activities and month-by-month suggestions for managing the school garden.

Every topic includes classroom learning and activities, and practical activities to complete in the school garden.
